Default Koyo vs Pwr vs Fluidyne

Who prefers which brand and why? Are there any major differences? Any reason I should choose one over the other?

I'm looking to buy a half size radiator, so just looking for any info or opinions. Thanks.

And if this is the wrong section, my b.

okay, here's the deal.

In highschool I took two years of welding, specialized in TIG welding all of my second year. After that I worked 3 jobs welding. Not a welder anymore, but I know my stuff well enough.

I ordered one of those ebay radiators a while back. it was like $160 shipped. Are the welds fine? Yes. Are they top notch? Yes. Will they hold? Yes. Is koyo worth paying for? No. Is fluidyne worth paying for? No.

Others may argue that they're not good enough. I don't care. I've TIG welded more aluminum than they have.

When it comes to ebay headers, it may be a little bit different, because we're talking about power gains. A radiator is a radiator.
