i happen to like the hayden rad from the swiftech kit alot. it was coupled with a maze2 and eheim 1048. i was thinking bout upgrading and i got myself a beefy carheater rad. it had almost triple the volume of the hayden. well , hate to admit it, but in my particular setup, the hayden performs better than the much bigger carheater rad. together they work like magic. haven't had the BI's to compare, they cost way too much, but as i can see it, the hayden has a very clever design, with not too much fins, the air that blows through takes away alot of heat. more so than with the carheater rad, where the fins are more closely packed together. on the carheater rad, cranking up the cfm's does almost nothing. the hayden tho, hat off, seems to be well engineered, because indeed, looking at it makes u think it will not perform too well.
