Waste of Money on my review.

After i put it to the test, the Spectra Premium heater core failed MISERABLY. It was supposed to replace my old heater core but ended up causing more trouble than it was worth .The only good thing about it was that it was inexpensive. However, its poor performance and faulty design make it a terrible investment..

Pros
  • Inexpensive
Cons
  • Poor performance, faulty design

This is the last boss of all jobs

Some people would rather buy a new car than do the job themselves lol Also, any store will offer you $2000-$3000. Since I couldn't afford both, I had to do it myself. So for a real product it was perfect for the original manufacturer with the same foam inserts. The material corresponds to the original. The only thing I didn't like was that the real tubes moved too much for my liking. idk if it was ok so i just smeared some sticky silicone around the fittings for extra insurance. I also didn't…

Pros
  • Optimum pipe spacing to maximize heat transfer
Cons
  • Useless features
