Just curious, why switch out the radiator?

Better performance (heat management) than stock an since it's coming out why not replace it labor is free.

Since when does the radiator need to come out to do an intercooler? Ive had like 4 different types and never touched the radiator.

Each video I saw they pull out the radiator attached by what two bolts remove the intercooler an replace
7:28 time stamp

Whoever puts it in for you will do it the easiest way possible because of time, i doubt they will pull the radiator. Ive installed a few of them for people on here that are local to me and its not “needed”. Just alot of extra work for not really added insurance. Sure the engineering way that is the way to do it but realistically it way to much added work and adds no benefit. Not going anywhere or going to rattle around.

I found when installing my GH intercooler the radiator and intercooler were kinda "married" with two bolts
Needless to say, it was much easier disconnecting all the hoses and then pulling the intercooler and radiator out at the same time as opposed to trying to separate and then rejoin the two all inside the engine bay

From gearhead seems like they get them in once every four months or so. I added myself to waitlist on there website I think they got 15 or so in until they sold out. Sometime you can call an they might have a extra few on hold they will sell you. Or hit up csf they make them for gear head im sure an just apply the gearhead logo.
