If you're looking for a solid radiator that won't let you down, CSF is the way to go. Seriously, they’ve got a reputation for a reason. With over 50 years in the game and more than 30 million units sold worldwide, they know what they’re doing when it comes to cooling your ride. CSF covers a staggering range of over 3,200 applications, so whether you’re rocking an Acura or a Volkswagen, they’ve got the right fit for you.
Now, let’s talk materials. CSF has the whole spectrum covered—Copper-Brass, Plastic-Copper-Brass, Plastic-Aluminum, and All Aluminum. You can trust that their radiators are built with the same quality and style as your original equipment. The Plastic Tank-Aluminum Core construction is OEM specified, meaning it’s designed to fit just like the factory part. The tanks are made from virgin-grade engineered plastic resins that are "glass filled" for extra strength and durability. You won’t have to worry about this thing cracking under pressure.
One feature that stands out is the high-performance multi-louvered design of the fins. These are the heart of your radiator, and CSF has engineered them to maximize cooling efficiency. Plus, every radiator is leak tested before it leaves the factory at 150% of the operating pressure. That’s confidence you can count on. And if you’re worried about shipping damage, CSF’s packaging is top-notch, passing a "10-foot drop test" standard. They really think of everything.
As for the specs, this downflow radiator has one row and measures 13 7/16" in core length, 27" in width, and 7/8" in thickness. It’s made from aluminum for the core and plastic for the tank, which keeps it lightweight yet durable. The inlet and outlet are both located on the driver side, with a diameter of 1 9/16". This makes installation straightforward, especially if you’re replacing a radiator in a Subaru Forester from 2014 to 2018.
Just a quick note, when you’re swapping out your radiator, be sure to check the old radiator pressure cap for wear and tear. It’s a small detail that can save you headaches down the line.
In short, if you want a radiator that performs and lasts, CSF is a solid choice. From the materials to the engineering, they’ve put a lot of thought into making sure you get the best cooling performance possible.
