I know it has been done before, but we weren't all always here before! I'm looking into doing mine sometime. I would definately want a silver colour, and well engineered.Has anyone tried using the latest PWR cooler? They look brilliantly made, just not sure on the results though or price?As far as a Phoon cooler, it seems to me a new one is so expensive when compared to a direct replacement aftermarket one with better results and flow. The only way I would consider a phoon cooler is if it was at the right price (not $1400) Even then, the idea of a second hand cooler for $800 or so, doesnt sit too well when you get the other options new for the $1000. The phoon coolers are pretty well made though.Im just not sure which way to go, as some I have seen have cumbersome pipe attachments on the ends, Others are just way too much for street use involving hacking away half the car, and others are an absolute bugger to fit.Any suggestions?
