Got this radiator from autozone but theres two pipes coming from the bottom of it. The oem doesn't. Has anyone dealt with this before or know how I can go about this?

They're for the auto trans cooler. I just capped mine off.

At first I had a hose going between both nipples, but then I picked up some little rubber caps at Autozone. They were the perfect size.

just use a hose with clamps, the reason why these aftermarket radiators have the lines at the bottom sold like in parts stores like napa whatsover, is so that the radiator is universal between manual and automatic vehicles. even in reality you dont need to cap them unless you plan to reuse the radiator on an automatic later, those two lines are in and out more for auto trans cooler.
