nope not for a koyo. but im gna be ordering the mishimoto possibly tomorrow. $100 more than an oem replacement and $150 less than a koyo. well priced, works well, cools better, sounds good to me.

need one as soon as i can get one.

I don't see why not, esp considering Mishimoto charges almost exactly the same amount as Koyo? $280 vs $330.

Had a Mishimoto in my 04 STI after the stocker (~80K miles) failed. No issues at all. Koyo in my current car...again, no problems. My forester has a radiator sourced out from a local vendor here in town that is oem style...no issues so far, but due to the plastic endcaps, will probably go in another 70k miles or so...

If you need the car asap...Performance or Kuroda's should have the oem style radiator in stock...if you can wait...go Mishimoto or Koyo...they will both most likely last the ownership of your car...
