Aftermarket Radiator on C55
Has anyone run an aftermarket all aluminum radiator on their 55?
Doing what I can get the engine bay as light and minimal as possible. I have removed EGR, SAI and next deleting AC compressor/condensor. Got me thinking while I was in there if anyone may have tried another radiator? This car is manual swapped also, so no more trans cooler lines fyi.
The hose setup is unique, being that it splits off and returns to the expansion tank from both upper and lower hose. Would like to be able to run silicone hoses so I'd have to see how I could fab that up to replicate. Is the split off from the upper just for bleeding purposes or?
Any info appreciated!
Thx,
