Correct, as long as you have both cats, VE is not really affected.

(In other words... those bolt-ons basically do nothing but add noise...)

Glad you got it figured out! Taking breaks while doing a lot of works is crucial

Looking forward to the review!

The noise is nice

Don't forgot about looks... Looks adds at least 5hp... at least!

Up early... so...

The install begins! I also have Raceseng Crank Pulley Kit and a DSS Aluminum Driveshaft to install... It's going to be a nice long working on the car kind of day

Compilation of Owner-Mentioned Hiccups

One of the top questions by people trying to decide on a kit is, "what issues are the owners reporting?" Slogging through dozens of pages is laborious, so here is a compilation of the hiccups/issues reported by the owners here.

This compilation is different from the Kraftwerks and Innovate compilations because the biggest Jackson Racing thread is not an owner's thread. The owner's thread actually just started today!

I counted 6 owners in this thread, but I might have missed or double-counted one.

No owner has yet reported a single issue/hiccup with this kit.

In your photo, specifically the SC cooler, the two top 90 degree elbows where the rubber hoses connect... Do they have to be facing in the opposite direction???

Seems like there is a lot of hose length when mounting both the engine oil cooler and SC cooler since one of the lines has to wrap around the passenger head light area...

Can they be pointing the same way (I.e same as the engine oil cooler) and routed up through where the engine oil cooler lines are? There is room...

Thanks!!!

^^ which oil cooler is that?

*LongFella · 03-09-2014, 03:11 AM

Left = Engine Oil Cooler
Right = SC Rotrex Oil Cooler

Do they *have* to be? No, but we added our cooler after the fact, so it was easier...
