Default OEM radiator or custom?

Hey guys, my radiator had some fisures last night (which involved a lot of problems, and a girl in a white shirt soaked with antifreeze) and i did some research and after finally being able to bring it home... i came to a dramatic and world shattering question....

OEM radiator replacement for about 170 bucks....
Custom made aluminum radiator for about 200....

Im willing to pay the difference... but what i would like to know is that, the aluminum radiator is better? should i go for that one, or should i just go get the oem replacement? (which is what i have... with the plastic part full of fissures... but brand new wont be)

well that depends on what radiator you're getting for $200... and where would you get the stock radiator from? wheni got it quoted it was like 250 or 280 for the stock one

hahaha that is cuz you have the 4g63, i have a 420a, and the 200 dlls would be for a custom aluminum radiator at a well known radiator shop around here....

ah... gotcha... supposedly they are better at cooling, which makes sense cause it's a light material... i'd say go for it, why not?
