I bought JDMs about three months ago. It's sitting in my garage waiting for my happy *** to get back to Hawaii. Not too sure about the MotoBlue one.

I REALLY want to know the volume of both, the motoblue looks to be built cleaner.

Guess it's time to make a few phone calls.

LFP has a better deal on a heat exchanger..... Mounts in stock position, more than twice stock core.... Best price in the biz.... give em a call....

Also, he's got em for the 03 cobra as I understand it....

I would trust the JDM or JL before the other and the only reason i say this is because JDM sells Fluidine and JL sells Afco. These are both great radiator manufactors and I haved used both in my race car with 0 problems untill i crashed and bent them up. No flame just my .02

None of the above!

Fluidyne itself has just released a Lightning-specific exchanger. The ones currently on the market are fabbed by the same source in NJ. The new cooler is fabbed by Fluidyne itself. Retail=$500, so the discount price should be about the same.

From memory, looks identical to the JDM unit. Fluidyne also released an '03 Cobra-specific exchanger.

Saw them at SEMA last week, so I don't know exactly when they will ship (assuming that they have not already shipped).

I would think the Fluidyne does look just like the JDM exchanger because the JDM exchanger is made by Fluidyne. Fluidyne is printed in black across the front.
