ok thanks because i have the 5s motor and my radiator is cracked, but i have the 3s on order so i was wondering, thank you
fitment is not a problem but some of us had problem with cooling with using the stock gt radiator due to the size of larger intercoolers stealing the cool air. I went with an aftermarket unit with a dual core.

My cooling fan switch went bad, the engine got rather hot and cracked the radiator. So I replaced the radiator with a koyo stock replacement. (ebay $150 shipped) It looks just like the stock one. Then I made a switch to run the cooling fan all the time. Works fine ever since.
