You are frankly better off with the Nissens aluminum-plastic radiator than with an all-metal unit. My all-metal unit corroded within one year using Dexcool: the composite radiators are not only lighter, but the aluminum is corrosion-free. They of course have limited lifetimes (8-10 years) due to the plastic, but at these prices one does not get concerned about that. The Nissens is a good competitor to the OEM Blackstone composite, which is a superb radiator but more expensive.

MTC likely sources their units from the far east, with unknown quality levels.
