CSF High-Performance All-Aluminum Radiator for 2008-2021 Subaru WRX & STI

When it comes to keeping your Subaru WRX or STI running cool under pressure, the CSF 7042O High-Performance All-Aluminum Radiator is a game-changer. With over 50 years of expertise, CSF knows how to deliver a radiator that performs both on the street and the track. This isn't just an upgrade; it's an essential component for any enthusiast looking to maximize their engine's cooling efficiency, especially for high horsepower builds or dedicated race vehicles.

Why Choose CSF's 7042O Radiator?

This radiator features a robust 2-Row 42mm Core utilizing CSF's exclusive B-Tube Technology. Unlike traditional oval "O" type tubes, the B-tubes are engineered for enhanced performance. This design allows for:

  • Increased heat transfer surface area by approximately 15%, which means better cooling efficiency.
  • Stronger construction using thinner, lighter aluminum, making it both durable and efficient.
  • Dual liquid laminar flow for optimized cooling.

Performance Features

Engineered with precision, the CSF radiator also boasts ultra-efficient multi-louvered fins that are meticulously aligned to maximize airflow through the core. Each fin is designed and tested in CSF's wind-tunnel lab to ensure maximum heat rejection efficiency, giving you peace of mind whether you're cruising or racing.

Fitment and Installation

The CSF 7042O is a true drop-in fit for your 2008-2021 Subaru WRX and STI, meaning no modifications are required for installation.

Anyone who needs a new radiator should consider buying a CSF radiator. A CSF radiator and CSF cooling system offers the best performance for driving and racing enthusiasts. If you have a faulty radiator or are looking to upgrade to a high-performance radiator, a CSF radiator will get the job done.

Simply put, you cannot buy, sell, install or own a better value radiator or condenser.

Why Should I Buy a CSF Radiator

A CSF radiator offers a number of benefits over the competition. Below, we explain the main reasons why you should buy a CSF radiator.

A Market Leader for over 45 Years

CSF has been a market leader for over 45 years, as the company was initially established in 1975 and have been selling CSF radiators ever since. Over time, a CSF radiator has become known for its innovative design and impeccable quality.

Every single CSF radiator and CSF cooling system has been put through a rigorous series of tests to make sure every system is reliable and performs at a high level. In their testing lab, CSF puts in the time to make sure every product works perfectly.

CSF takes pride in the quality of its products and offers one of the best warranty’s in the industry. Please refer to the CSF warranty card in the shipping carton for details.

CSF warranty is applicable only to the original owner of the vehicle. Original paper work verifying the proof of purchase and pre-installation cooling system checklist signed by the professional installer is required to process warranty claims.

All warranty claims should be directed to the point of purchase. Due to CSF’s established agreements with Authorized CSF Warehouse Distributors, CSF is unable to handle and/or process warranty related calls/inquires from any individuals – all inquires/warranty related claims should be directed to the point of purchase or an authorized warehouse distributor.

Take care of your radiator, as under circumstances listed below the warranty will be void.

If the radiator is installed and is returned deformed (bulging tanks, warped core etc.), this is an indication that the radiator is the victim of some other problem and not the cause. The deformation is a result of the radiator being subjected to extremely high pressure and or temperature caused by any of the following reasons:Defective Pressure Cap, Defective Head Gasket, Defective Temperature gauge (incorrect readings), Defective Water Pump etc. Such units are not covered under the warranty.

If a radiator seems to have a “fit problem” there is the possibility that there is some confusion about a multi-fit radiator that might look different. Your nearest CSF WD can clarify the application, just give them a call. A perceived fit problem is not covered under warranty.

If a unit is damaged in shipping, please file a claim with the carrier. Damages caused during shipping, installation or handling are not covered under warranty.

Any repairs or alterations to the unit will automatically void the warranty.

Any form of abuse, including the use of improper coolant mixtures, damage caused by steam, corrosion etc and use on commercial vehicles voids the warranty. It is the vehicle owners’ responsibility to maintain the cooling system as specified in the owners manual.
