Default Alloywork radiator

New here, and kinda new to vettes. I’ve got a 2007 z51 6mt and I’ve Have been trying to get my car ready for spring with some new goodies, and recently sprung a small pin hole leak in my radiator on the driver side. Thankfully I’ve been looking at upgrading the cooling system already so I might as well hop on that before I bring the car out in a few months. I’ve been looking at many brands including Mishimoto and dewitts, but I also ran across a company called alloyworks who also have an all aluminum unit. Have also seen several “eBay” versions. I was curious if anyone has had any luck with any of these “budget” radiators? Not that I’m against buying the higher priced unit but if I can save money, why not.

I have a DeWitts in my 2011 GS and it is excellent. I had a Mishimoto radiator for my GTO I used to have and it was also good.

Skip the eBay trash. I would get a DeWitts.

DeWitts will always be recommended around here. You can't go wrong with them.

If that is out of your budget, I've heard good things about ECP (Engineered Cooling Products). https://speedcooling.com/

I was curious about those as well. Have you heard many people using that one? I literally just closed on a house and I’m going to have to do something ASAP

unfortunately I won’t be able to run that one because I have a Z51 and it has the oil cooler in the radiator
