Third Radiator Kit for 986 blows my mind!!

[mikesz]

I just installed 3rd radiator in my 99.

$175 for the center radiator complete with brackets ready to bolt on from someone parting an S out.

$100 for S coolant pipes both sides complete from the radiators to the hard pipes in center of the car. I only needed the Y pipes so going to put what I didn't need back on ebay and try to recoup some $$

$100 for Precision Chassis to weld adapters on non S pipes. I know there are cheaper alternatives but this was the path of least resistance since I don't have a lift.

$20 for Boxster coolant pipes from Woody to send to Precision so my down time with the car was minimized.

so total cost was $395 and it took me about a day to install at a leisurely pace and I plan on trying to sell the coolant hoses/pipes that I didn't need to try to recoup some money.

Did you pick an S bumper or cut the opening and install a splitter?
