Ok guys I hate to bring this back to life but it's coming up on google searches and I don't want people to get bad info. I have a Fluidyne radiator in my 2000 GT and it's leaking from 2 places. I have to fill up the reservoir canister every week. As far as I'm concerned Fluidyne sucks monkey balls. I took it to performance radiators (down here in phoenix) to see if they could fix it and they told me that it's a well known problem and for $180 they can clean it and epoxy the edges to stop the leaks but it's a crap shoot if it will work because there is not enough material for the epoxy to adhere to.

Either way I am staying away from Fluidyne and will try Mishimoto because they look well built and they do have a "no questions asked" lifetime return policy. Plus, I know some import guys that run them, here in phoenix, and have no complaints.

My 2 cents.

My 3 cents is mushimoto fails worse. Ive been unfortunate to own a few. I also think your fibbing. Your radiator shop didn't offer to weld it, but epoxy it? Of course mushimoto has a lifetime warrenty, because you will need it when it destroys itself on the daily.... Now I wait for the dude that only logs on to modded mustangs and searches for mushimoto threads to defend them and suck their dick.

Hmm, I have a Mishi in my 02 as well. no issues, fits great, never leaks. never had a fluidyne rad, so I cant compare to that. I can simply state MY experience. if it differs from yours, then so be it. who the fuck cares, this is the interwebz!!

For me Mishi and Fluidyn are the same shit. I've had the Fluidyn for years and also track the car quite a bit and never had a problem with it. I would try a Mishi if mine took a crap. It's like anything else. Sometimes they work great and sometimes they don't. Even the top, expensive brands fail sometimes. Personally I like the Life Time Warranty deal. I buy it and if it breaks, which eventually everything does, I get another one for free.
