Review on ๐Ÿš— Mishimoto Performance Aluminum Radiator for Subaru Forester XT 2004-2008 (MMRAD-FXT-04) by Jordan Doyle

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Adds 10-strong! ;)

Adds 10 horsepower! ;) The installation was relatively easy. The mounting brackets/holes were close to factory but required some strong arms to align. The only real problem was the gas cap. As other people have pointed out, she sucks. I had to improvise a new plug from what I found in the garage (photo credit). Even though it has more coolant, I didn't notice any difference in coolant temp - when the XT was warmed up, the needle coolant temp sensor stayed in the same place as the old radiator. I would give it 5 stars if the gas cap design wasn't so flimsy.

Pros
  • All aluminum construction with high pressure radiation protection cap and magnetic drain plug
Cons
  • Volume
