jbooker82 Posted January 11, 2010 Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 I guess I dont need a review. I kind of already know what kind of products china makes. Yea it is going to look nice and shiny when you get it. The test of time is what really counts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where do you thing the factory radiators are made..i will give you a hint,its not Japan, There is hardly anything manufactured in Japan anymore,they have become like us,much more corporate based with most manufacturing farmed out to China and Taiwan. Im betting that radiator was purchased from the same factory that produces the Oem's.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KlotzBanshee Posted January 11, 2010 Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 Buy it Now $145 - for the Radiator AND a silicone hose kit! That is a helluva deal. I may also be interested IF the quality is up to standard. Let us know how it turns out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbooker82 Posted January 11, 2010 Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 Where do you thing the factory radiators are made..i will give you a hint,its not Japan, I would bet on japan, but there is no way to prove it. You get what you pay for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigborebanshee Posted January 11, 2010 Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 I would bet on japan, but there is no way to prove it. You get what you pay for. Only thing left in Japan is machining operations,much like the USA,they outsource the majority of their manufacturing.But machining capability and consistency is still sketchy in China.When they prove they can hold tolerances like Japan,USA and Germany..they too will handle the majority of the worlds machining. Just like The American Auto manufacturers,they might assemble the cars here,but most components are manufactured elsewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

278 Posted January 12, 2010 Report Share Posted January 12, 2010 Everyone has there own opinion, and i know sometimes you dont have any other choices, but to buy from china or Japan. However, I try to buy American as much as possible. The quality is just far better i dont care what your buying. Of course theres some exceptions, like chinese food lol. For the most part though, things made in the US are built better. The Gov't is trying to put a program together that allows people to buy US products and increases sales so manufacturers will start producing more things here. I forget the website but there is a women that is helping with this project in the private sector and created a website to where you can find pretty much everything that goes in or on your house made in the US. We'll see what happens, but I think its a good idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazyatvspazz Posted January 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2010 yhea i will def post some pics when i get it. I was curious as to how good its going to be so i said screw it and ordered one. That guy talking about buying stuff made in the states must be high if he thinks any radiators are made for banshees in the states....prove me wrong? i can take it if iam:) i compared the Chinese radiator to other brands such as fluidyne and they look identical...least in the pics...be cool to find some one with a name brand one and compare them side by side...i just hope it makes the trip in one piece lmao Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bansheesandrider Posted January 12, 2010 Report Share Posted January 12, 2010 (edited) I would bet on japan, but there is no way to prove it. You get what you pay for. I know some Honda ATV engines are made in China. Let us know about the radiator when you get it,also how long it takes to get here.

madjimmax Posted January 12, 2010 Report Share Posted January 12, 2010 Fuck that china made shit. They're the ones that are putting lead paint on kids toys not to mention all the other shit that they throw together and pawn off on us. By the way Fluidyne radiators are made in Mooresville, NC heres there link Fluidyne. We as Americans owe it to each other to try to keep all of our money right here in the good ole USofA. Just my .02 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just my .02 iam not gunna get to political but if it wasent china its gonna be another 3rd world country to take its place. Eventually china will have to set standards on quality as the us has...prices will increase...then the out sourcing will be sent to another country with cheap labor...how it goes... been about a week scene ordered....
