Just an FYI for 2017 Manual transmission owners. The Jackson Racing NA oil cooler will not fit as the 2017 air box has been redesigned and does not allow enough room for the lines.
I talked to Jackson Racing, the only solution currently is to replace the air box with a 2016 prior air box. They did say they are working on an alternative solution, but just an FYI as I didn't see this mentioned anywhere and it is not currently showing this information on any of the many websites selling this oil cooler.

I will be replacing my air box and putting a KN drop in filter. I don't expect any performance difference that is noticeable and even if I drop 1 or 2 hp I feel the oil cooler is more important since I bought my car just for having some fun at the track.
