Default Heat Exchangers

Anyone have any experience with aftermarket heat exchangers? If so, which one did you go with and why.

Thanks!

When I upgraded my upper and lower pulleys I did the upgraded HX from Cordes (CPR) in Phoenix. I also did the Fasterproms expansion tank at the same time. Larger HX core and more fluid volume makes the IAT increase more slowly. I really did not research HX that much as I knew Joe and his products are top notch and he would not steer me wrong.

I have also heard great things about Cordes/CPR. I do have an expansion tank as well. Thanks!

I really did my homework on our core when we decided to do a HX. Our unit doesn't require anything to be cut and connects to the oem lines. Our tank as well uses oem quick connections and has a mount for a mighty mouse catch can, AZgasser's car we did a fasterproms because at the time ours was not made. We have these in stock and can ship them out asap.
