Pretty chill install, only tricky part was getting the lines fabbed up, i went to a hydraulic shop, and had some custom made to my lengths for 60 CDN bucks. Heres a pic of how i mounted them. Works great, takes longer to warm up, but the temp stays real steady especially at high highway speeds, I upgraded from the shyzen beehive. Greatly reccommend this Mod!

mhmm, all you really have to do is go to the junk yard and pick up a good condition fc oil cooler and lines, go to a muffler shop and get muffler clamps and she's done

Iam not bashing, I'm just trying to say its a good easy upgrade
