Ok guys and Gals, I need help choosing a Heat Exchanger!!

Im have a hard time choosing which heat exchanger that I want. So here are my choices:

Cx racing Heat Exchanger from ebay or,

Silicon intakes Heat Exchanger.


The CX: Has inlet and outlet on different sides,
Overall size: 31.5x9.5x3.5(end-tank) inch
Core Size: 24x8x2.5 inch
Inlet and outlet sizes: 3/4 (0.75) inch
Rows: 2
Pressure Released Cap 1.1 Bar or 16 Lbs

The Silicon intake: Has inlet and outlet on same side. Dimensions:26x7x3.5, the core size is: 24x7x3.5.

At seven inches tall, they are perfect for mounting in front of the radiator on most cars.
With four strategically placed mounting points, they are easily mountable with the water inlet and outlet on either the left or the right.
All aluminum construction provides maximum cooling with water or antifreeze/coolant.
Water inlet and outlet are 1/2" NPT female threads, just like most air to water intercoolers.
These radiators feature a drain plug on the bottom for incredible installation flexibility.
In case you wish to include a water temperature gauge in your installation, these radiators feature a 1/8-27 NPT tap for a temperature sending unit. They ship with a plug installed in case you do not wish to use this feature.

The link for the CX racing is: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...ayphotohosting

The one from silicon intake: http://www.siliconeintakes.com/produ...e604f83bef2315

That looks really nice, I'm having a Cobra HEX coming in, I may sell it for a CX Racing. The Silicone Intake only has 1/2" in/outs, plus its more expensive.

The Silicone Intake's H/E has 1/2" npt threads which you hook up 3/4" hose adaptors for, both CXR and SI have the same size openings, silicone intake's is a dual pass as well though (which allows you to run hosing more conveniently) . Sorry, just had to set the record straight. I've got it and it works great, but CXRacing is probably better for those just running stock flowing setups.

I haven't been seeing above 120 degree temps at WOT with 45 degree ambient temps with my 2.9" pulley and the rest of my cooling setup if that means anything. And temps drop back below 100 within the minute of letting off.

I think I like the CX Racing one.
