Message	and the Koyo/Howe as far as cooling effectiveness? I have a feeling that the Koyo/howe does not cool that much better because the added thickness impedes air flow. The radiator in my truck and Lexus are all one core , one inch thick and they cool fine in the summer time even with the a/c on in 108 degree weather. The Lexus has double electric fans stock.
