It will be interesting to see if it works or not, if you go to the sellers web site RadiatorsUs they don't list the SVX as one they support and actually the only Subaru they list is the Forester (1999-2002).

With the seller of the silla radiator, there website lists one for the SVX (and we know it fits, as it's been used already)

If someone does order this radiator, post and let us know if it works or not.

Nother update. I got it today "made in china" and everything.

Packaging kinda worthless but it made it here in one peice.
Still plastic end tanks although squared (not the nifty rounded of the stock ones
All holes properly capped with rubber caps.
Completely black including the metal fins area

Fitment on Sunday and maybe some pics if I can find somebody.

My rad finally exploded and dumped all of my fluid in a big hurry when I was driving home from class yesterday. I had temporarily patched the cracked plastic, but it only held out a few weeks before it crapped out for good. There were no Silla rads on eBay so I called their toll-free. Some lady I couldn't understand transferred me to some place in California who said they couldn't help and transferred me to New York, who said they only sell to businesses and certainly not to Canada... OK, screw Silla.

From the cheap eBay auctions by seller "radsus", I got the seller website: http://www.radiatorsus.com/ I called and spoke with Dean (really nice guy!) and ordered a new radiator through them.

Anyhow, thundering02 got one via Buy It Now at $146 on Oct 8th. Dean wouldn't give me it at that cost so I got it at $159. I got the last one they have on-hand right now (or so he says) and now the future charge for this rad will be $175US. So I got it at $159US + $88US S&H. The S&H seems steep, but still ends up cheaper than PWR or OEM.

It's too bad thundering02 didn't come back with an update on how his install went, but I'm assuming it was okay because he didn't post about it NOT working.
