    I am reaching the 220 temperature mark while on the highway on hot days, but not when in stop-and-go traffic.

    I got one that's beaten up and cracked. Looks like ass. I can take pics, but honestly, I would be uncomfortable selling it for more than $80 without feeling like I ripped someone off given the DMCH guy sells for $181

    Sounds like typical damage caused by train horns, yes?

    My car doesn't have the radiator duct. What I notice is above 3000 rpms the cooling system begins to get hot, everything is perfect in my cooling system w/new coolant.

    Does this ducting solve that issue?

    I have no other issue with my cooling system in stop & go traffic either, just a small issue I would like to solve.

    When I reduce my speeds (rpm) the issue goes away.

    I don't see the problem(s). The boiling point of the coolant is ~257° F (125° C), if you have a 50/50 mix and a 15 psi cap.
