Review on Hayden Automotive 678 Rapid-Cool πŸ”₯ Transmission Cooler with Plate and Fin Design by Ricky Habbani

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Top Quality Engine Cooling & Air Conditioning

I originally ordered a B&M radiator for my 2012 Honda Odyssey but when it arrived the build quality (made in Mexico) was terrible and it was returned. See this review for more information. I ordered this Hayden and hoped for the best. It arrived today and WOW! amazing quality. Made in Australia! NOT Mexico, China, Taiwan, Indonesia etc etc. Perfectly aligned fins, brazed/soldered perfectly flat, lays perfectly flat. The cooling fins between the panels have microfins and appear to be the best in the industry for cooling airflow. If you're a gizmo freak like me, wait 'til you see them. You look great. Nothing compares to poorly designed B&M fins. I trust this design 100% without any reservations. I will never use any other cool box. Also, B&Ms came with 3/8 barbs like this one, but B&Ms came with 3/8 hoses. It was NOT a tight fit and appeared to be a source of future leaks, even with clamps. This Hayden comes with a Gates 11/32 tube. The hose is not only made of high-quality material, but also fits very tightly at the 3/8 connections. Ideal! Not to mention my Odyssey requires 11/32 tubing, not 3/8. I am a VERY happy buyer.
