Think my 500 intercooler aint genuine...
Re-wired a saff yesterday with one on, the quality of the cooler was 100% better and thicker...
Did these change at all or is mine a cut and shut job LOL....
Anyone got any images.. ?

Maybe yours has a different core with 500 end tanks
Get some pics up of yours.

Just checked with some old pictures, certainly looks like a 500 cooler.
But i guess its hard to tell about the core

This looks like a decent core...
Does any one have pictures of inside the Behr one and others (radtec/pro-alloy)

yeah the genuine one seemed to be the "daddy" for all these years but people are now realising there are better products available...

personally i think 500 ones are fine if you already have one.
I wouldnt change it if i owned one.
But then i wouldnt buy one if i needed a cooler, as for the money there is better options out there.

Not all RS500 coolers were made by BEHR!
Apparently BEHR stopped making them and another firm , i can't remember the name of them? , started making them for Ford at a later date. This may explain the fact that they are not the same although both are 500 items!
