You're correct; the inlet and outlet on mine are both facing down (my cooler's basically inverted from yours). Forgot to make that clear haha.

while your lines and fittings look much better than mine, I doubt that I'd see any noticeable performance boost from switching to them. I'm inclined to agree with you on the orientation issue, however. I wish I had the tools and time to do it in my garage, but I just don't.

When it's in the shop for the shocks, I'll have them pull the fender liner while I'm there and explain exactly what I want done...shouldn't be an issue. Before that, I have to drop it at the dealer to figure out a rear-end noise issue, but that's a story for another day.

I had another question for Dennis regarding his cool temps. Do you have the stock radiator and fan? Are you using an auxiliary engine oil cooler?
