Hey guys just looking for some input, I am about to buy 26in 3 core aluminum radiator but i have noticed between two different sellers one offers the upper inlet on the passenger side and the other on the driver side is there any advantages/disadvantages? I know stock is on the passenger but is there any benefit to have it on the driverside as far as clutter goes?

Before you buy one I've got a brand new 3 core champion passenger upper with driver lower (think it might cool better considering there on oppisite sides  :shruggy )and a 1yr old bee cool dual fan setup (need to measure but its either 11" or 12" per fan so either 22" or 24") that I'm looking to sell.

If your interested I can measure the fans and give ya a price tonigh.

No apparant advantages. most times I see the bottom on either side due to some water pumphousings exiting from either side. Some 440 setups have the upper hose on driver or passenger side depending on options. Just order what you think will fit.

So having the hose on either side would be the same i was just think of accessibility to things if it had any advantage being on the driverside

terrible one

For what it's worth, you will gain some clearance around the oil filter if you use a passenger side inlet (not that it's all that hard with the hose on the drivers side though)

thanks that's what I need to know. I asked this cause when I saw some of the set ups members had on here most of them had them on the driverside vs the passenger side so I started to question it
