For an oil cooler you can literally buy all the exact same components used, same setrab cooler mocal thermo plate or whatever brands of your liking. Can literally peice together a replica without the markup.

The only thing remotely “proprietary” is the mounting solution.

With rivnuts, straight brackets, and L brackets you can easily mount the cooler in any fashion you like, almost exactly replicating any other kits or doing it a unique method/location of your liking. No frabrication, R&D etc… does not take much time at all either. If you have the ability to install an oil cooler you can make your own that’ll be just as effective.

You can obviously start adding some complexity with a ducting solution if desired. How you bring air in / vent air out etc.. but most kits solution for this is either little to none, or incredibly easy to replicate. IE just dremel out fog light bezel and installing a vent/screen on fender liner.
