Ford Mustang w/ Stabilizer System, Manual 1997-2004
Model: MMRAD-MUS-97B
Mishimoto has released a revolutionary new radiator for the 1997-2004 Ford Mustang. The high torque generated by the Mustangs revealed a fatal flaw in the OEM design, where the torquing chassis would cause the OEM radiators to separate the endtanks from the cores. Utilizing a patented floating bracket system, this radiator was engineered to eliminate the issues found in the OEM design while simultaneously adding cooling capacity and increasing efficiency. The new Mishimoto Mustang radiator is a direct fit and installs in about two hours with no cutting or trimming required. All Mishimoto radiators come with a high pressure 1.3 bar Mishimoto radiator cap and an excellent warranty.
