Hi guys, I'd like opinions on ASI radiators - I know they are Chinese manufactured. Are they worth buying?
Thanks

Re: ASI Radiators
The ASI radiator in mine has been installed for about 3+ years by the previous owner and its fine, if it does leak i'll probably replace it with a koyorad or a mishimoto which are guaranteed for quality

Do a search on MT.net for their thoughts on "Mishimoto quality" - Mishimoto hoses are their ONLY endorsed product there.

Re: ASI Radiators
Thanks for your views, guys. As one who has done some TIG welding I'm interested in seeing the quality of their welding.

Re: ASI Radiators
The one in my NA has been in for over five years and is going great.
Not being an expert the welds look good to me

Re: ASI Radiators
Quite a few forumites have advised they've used them, with only a couple that have leaked, but were immediately replaced free of charge with no requirement to return the leaking one.

Re: ASI Radiators
Thanks RD & 93 for the encouraging info. I have a 42 mm cored example on its way so we will see how it goes.
