    Ebay will be cheaper and if you have any mechanical ability and basic hand tools you can change it out yourself and save some cash.

    You also dont need a high performance radiator, and if you did it would be custom because nobody makes direct bolt in high performance radiators for us.

    I recently had the same exact problem with a small crack at the top that would spray everywhere when hot, but i went the least expensive route. I wasnt able to afford a new radiator at the time so i bought jb weld for 5 dollars. I drained the level in the radiator slightly so the coolant would stop seeping out of the crack, roughed up the surface a little with some sandpaper, the cleaned it, then applied the jb weld and let it cure overnight. I had to apply one more coat to be able to hold against the pressure about a week later but it has been over six months now with no leak and more money in my pocket.

    Our stock radiators have a tranny "cooler" on the bottom. I dont know how efficient it is or if it is needed if swapping to an aftermarket radiator
