Message	installed now and I came to the same conclusion. They looked identicle and I really wasn't impressed with either. If I could do it all over I would have just stuck with stock. Oem quality is so much better and I'm not convinced the extra capacity of the cheap aftermarket rads outweighs the likely loss in efficiency due to crappy cores aswell as increased restriction of airflow to our all ready over crowded hot engine bays from the increase in core thickness. Not to mention the aftermarket radiators make it a bit tighter for 2.5" intercoolers pipes. Just my oppinion and im sure it is not shared by many. Maybe I've missed some thread with evidence of reduced under hood and engine temps though.
