Are you going to use one to look good or to save weight. I have never seen any benfit over the normal radiators. hey are twice the price and are more trouble thatn what they are worth.

I had one made for my xa very costly but it looks great .
They do need extra care to look after them .
If you are after a new radiator just a stock one would be better suited but if you are prepared to fork out some cash and have a realy nice looking one then go for it

They are only for looks. They do do anything. Like some people they reckon they make there car go faster .

Alluminium radiators cool quicker then brass or copper so you can use a thinner 1 for the same result ,less weight & they are stronger.

Ive got an alloy radiator it wasnt really that much more than a new decent sized copper or brass radiator and looks shitloads better. I havent had any dramas at all with mine and with the el dual thermo fans its running too cold

what sort of trouble, prone to leak or something

I asked a few different radiator mobs, including Norm for Aussie desert rads, and they advise a brass type for general driving/racing, as if you have any problems they can easily be fixed, where the alloy can't.(you'd think alloy would be easy to fix?). I ended up with the brass 4 core desert cooler.
Apparently both cool the same.
