At the time I was researching Denso vs. Spectra.....Spectra's literature stated they were made in Canada. But I found out shortly thereafter....they had moved production to China. Radiators are built to spec there. I like that each radiator is pressure tested and has a 2 yr. warranty.
Spectra:
"Spectra Premium Complete Radiators are tested in an endurance simulator in order to ensure that they exceed original equipment standards. Only the highest grades of materials are used in production to ensure product longevity. Spectra Premium Complete Radiators are drop in fit for easy installation and are validated for fit, form, and function before released into the market. All complete radiators are 100 per cent leak tested and equipped with accessory packs to accommodate various original equipment models. Spectra Premium Complete Radiators are manufactured under ISO 9001 / TS 16949 quality system."
I believe this is the thread where we discussed it:
Best replacement radiator for the money today...
I can only speak for the performance of mine. It's been about 14 months since I installed it. It performed great this last summer in the Texas heat.
And...I haven't seen any threads here about their Spectra radiator leaking, not being available, etc....
The same can not be said of the Denso and certain others (even if relatively rare in the scope of things).
