CSF High-Performance Radiator (Part Number: 8057)

If you're looking to keep your Mercedes SL500 running smoothly, the CSF High-Performance All-Aluminum Radiator is a solid choice. With over five decades of experience, CSF has fine-tuned their designs to meet the demands of both street and track use. This radiator is particularly suited for high-performance vehicles that require reliable cooling, making it ideal for both daily drivers and race cars.

One standout feature of the CSF 8057 radiator is its innovative B-Tube Technology. Unlike traditional oval-shaped tubes, CSF utilizes a unique tube design that enhances strength while allowing for lighter materials. This design not only improves cooling efficiency but also increases the heat transfer surface area by about 15%. Customers have noted a noticeable improvement in engine temperatures after installation, which speaks volumes about its effectiveness.

The radiator's construction includes a 2-Row 42mm core and ultra-efficient multi-louvered fins, designed for maximum airflow. The fin height is 6.5mm, ensuring that your engine stays cool even under heavy loads. One customer remarked, "I was amazed at how quickly my engine temp dropped during my last track day. This radiator really does the job!"

Installation is straightforward, thanks to the drop-in fit design that requires no modifications. The CNC machined brackets and fittings provide durability and a perfect match with OEM connections, allowing you to reuse your existing hoses. Another user commented, "It was a breeze to install, and everything lined up perfectly with my original setup."
