Review on π₯ Mishimoto Performance Aluminum Radiator for Subaru Legacy 2000-2004 (MMRAD-LEG-00) by Ricardo Thotti
A quality heatsink, but be prepared for a few quirks.
Well made and 2-3 times thicker than my original radiator, the car now runs cooler and doesn't overheat in the 110+ degree desert heat, even with the A/C on. Amazing Guarantee. Pretty easy/easy to install for the most part, except it's slightly larger than my OEM and I'm trying to figure out how to lower it a few millimeters because my hood won't close all the way now. :/ Note the other reviews, you need new metric fan cover screws instead of the stock self tapping screws, and there is also a random nipple on the passenger side of the radiator of dubious utility that you may need. Block. It would be nice if they made a removable nipple with a plug on the screw; and some sort of jbweld, or rubber stopper with a yoke, ugly but works just as well. Installed on Legacy 2000 Outback
