im thinking about getting one of these PWR radiators for my car , its a 2006 ve ss automatic . are they good radiators ? easy to fit ? are they simple take out the stock one and fit the new without modification ? do the trans lines go on the same way as the original ve ss radiator ? what websites have them for sale ? and last of all what part number do i need ?

Probably because they are much cheaper than OEM.

Should all be the same fittings etc.

standard plastic original costs $560 and plastic top spout keeps snapping off , why spend that much for something that's going to end up happening like my one that I've got in now ? , spend extra and it will last a lot longer and look cool aswell

Still amazes me how expensive OEM parts are, especially when their quality isn't of a high standard.

I'd 100% going after market + there's no warranty to worry about in this case.

We have a PWR rad in one of our F6 . Great quality. If you car is modified maybe get a slightly thicker one. Cost will be $800 - $1000. Just call PWR direct. Part No: PWR5686 – VE SS ’06 55mm.

The PWR Ali rads are totally different to the cheap ebay ones. I have heard many stories of the chinese rads purchased on ebay failing.
