Well OP looks like you pissed off the competition with your "Illegal" links.
You'll prolly get banned.....
Lol Jk but most likely they noticed the mods you posted it. Sucks cause if that's a good radiator, looks like some "Companies" should try and revise there prices and cut the vette tax out lol
Great find OP, you duh man

Yes I had a big improvement. I have a 160 t=stat but with the stock rad my car ran 200+ and now with the new rad installed it stays about 175 unless stuck in traffic the may get to 200 unless i kick on the a/c so the fan will kick on. When I finally get a tune I will fix that issue. The e-bay unit was half the price delivered and fit great.

Just do a eBay search for c5 corvette radiator. I would love to always by American made but it the imports can produce and ship it half way around the world and still be cheaper on the pricing either the US manufacturer is gouging or they need better raw material suppliers. And before I flame that comment I am in the manufacturing industry myself so I do see the gouging that suppliers try to pull off. It's not wonder the US has lost so much to overseas

That's hard to do when your product is made in the USA and the cheap one is made in China. I guess he could fire all of his employees and just resell the ones made in China. Isn't that how the USA got into this mess to begin with. Here is an idea, why don't we only buy stuff that is made in the US instead chasing the cheap way out. Eventually the US prices will come down, but at some point you have to put your foot down and do what is right for your country and not cater to another because they will sell it cheaper. I know this is only a small example and GM, Ford and all the car companies are doing it, but if enough people were to get there head out of the sand we could fix all of these problems. Personally I am sick of anything made overseas, the sad part is that some of it is good, but it is all tainted as I can see for now. I will pay more with smile on my face if it is made in the US. I don't have lots of funds personally to do that, but I save to get the right part as much as possible. As far as the rad, I would have put a stock one back in until I could have afforded the DeWitt. We all as whole have to start thinking about the bigger picture. BUY USA
