Video Description:In this episode we interviewed Matt Dawson from Champion Radiators to help our customers learn more about the brand. Champion also makes the American Eagle brand of radiators. Here are some key points in the video:
*At 4:26, they talk about how the 2-row radiators is still a better performance radiator than the factory radiator since it has a better size of tubes. They then talk about the 3- and 4-row radiators they make.
*At 6:35 they talk about how all their radiators are all tig-welded and braced, and no epoxy is used. This allows radiators to go through the heat cycles without a problem.
*At 10:40 Matt says Andy's Auto Sport does a great job of serving customers! -

Q: How do you install a radiator?
A: Radiators are manufactured specifically per vehicle application to ensure the best in fitment, just like your original radiator. Remove your factory unit and install the aftermarket radiator in its place.
Q: What is a radiator? Why buy a radiator?
A: A radiator is a device that cools the entire engine by using a water and antifreeze mixture. The mixture flows through your cooling system, passing through the radiator and back where it is cooled again by convection with the air. Aftermarket performance radiators offer 30% more cooling than standard radiators in many cases, and are great for high performance motors. When your engine is cooler, your car performs better and can go faster.
