Default Has any one used a thinner griffin for more clearance?

Im currently running the same griffin radiator as every one when they stand it. Im looking to change up my setup and need more room. Do they make a radiator of same dimensions but a single core? If so, does any one think that will cause over heating issues?

The stock radiator isnt nearly as thick as my griffin and it cooled great. It also had better airflow being thinner.

How much more clearance do you need? 1"?

You could always cut another 1" into the radiator support and push back your radiator!!

And if your running ac, could always eliminate it for additional clearance

Im going to be changing the rad support again for more room but every little bit helps. I want to try and fit a larger turbo and keep the ac

Why do people use griffin?

Call Howe and they will build you a setup that is fully aluminum and fully custom for cheap. They can section the core in half
