I have been wanting to get one and have finally done that.what a HUGE difference with under hood heat and IAT temps ,engine coolant temps and under hood heat!!also turbo spools a little faster.worth it for sure.
i got the same exact one. they are here in town so it was just a drive for me. i've noticed the temp. drop also, only i can't confirm on the quicker spool, though. came to $102 with taxes.
How many times did you poke yourself with the little wire ends that stick out?
I ran one when my truck was last operational & it does help a lot. Although, the fit is off if you have a PTE exhaust housing.
They do keep the heat down, that's for sure. I went with a pair of these for my new build; several of my friends locally have been running them with excellent results. They are awesome at holding down the heat and they don't get burned up and fall apart over time like some of the cheaper ones.
