Pre IC pipe is in the hottest part of the engine compartment, sandwiched between radiator and DP..Whatever you do there is no cooling or heat dissipating there at all!!!
There are on the market magnetic/or self adhesive/ fins and...
Nice job, Tim....... As allways.
Good to hear back from you......
Are you 100% bent on attending the shootout????????P.S. I thing you would do much better job with4202 IMO....BTW, I think this the link that ceedawg had in mind...
Get the S2000 and call it a day... DSM's are getting outdated. Don't spend your money there. There isn't a point in having to put another $4-5K into a car that you aren't enjoying.. Not like is a Ferrari. Life is short.. Believe me..
