Anyone running the dequick lower heat exchanger in place of the stocker??


Are your intake temps generally lower than with stock exchanger or does it only help to recover from heatsoak faster?

A real waste of time and money. I did not log any MAT improvement. It is extremely vulnerable to damage. I junked mine after repeated damage. The final straw was a stone hole on a long trip.

I have jpg's you are interested.

I concur with Manitoufs.....save your money, get some fans and an auxilary. Didn't see much of an improvement.

i also agree with them, get a aux cooler for your grill and some fans. you will notice more improvment.


Plus DeSLOW is just horrible on times. if you order one now, your lucky if you get it this year........

You're lucky you weren't in on the radiator GP or the CCHE GP or the AFPR GP.
All of those took a painfully long time to recieve the product.
I thought maybe he had to mine his own Al.

But... I would still be interested in what flow #'s you get from his air-air setup.
Call me a glutton.

I haven't purchased anything from CAS so I won't comment on the delivery time issue.

It seems strange to me that so many of the people who bought the CAS CCHE are unhappy with it. I have the Griffin CCHE and it made a big difference, and as far as I know the other Griffin users are also happy with theirs. Is there a design difference between the two (flow pattern, channel size, etc.)? There must be a big pressure drop across the CAS unit or something.

The water/air on my Syclone works so well with the Griffin CCHE/ATR AUX CCHE that I actually downgaded the IC from ATR to stock without any visible performance loss - and regained access to the passenger side of the engine compartment.

Bottom line, if the MAT's don't visibly improve with an upgraded CCHE there must be a manufacturing or design flaw in the unit (IMHO of course).

It could be that the CAS is a 2 pass design.
But to me, that seems like it would work better.
Maybe the flow rate is to slow.
