Same image and description as on LFP's site. $10 less isn't worth it IMHO.
Regardless of whose heat exchanger it is or the vendor/seller, claims of (approx) 35 degree fluid temp decrease is an overexaggeration.
How so you ask?
Primary and secondary intake temp sensors were monitored and compared, avg 3 days/week for 1.5 hour, in all types of traffic for nearly six months in ALL kinds of weather with only a JLP air box w/ scoop and 3# lower, that would put the secondary intake temp just a few degrees above the primary intake temp (slightly above ambient) AFTER passing through the Eaton.
I dont think so...... mmmmmkay

The 35 degrees is believeable under boost conditions, but the stupid part is claiming that it is a "constant 35 degrees." HEs reduce fluid temps by a percentage, not a constant.
