Got the heat exchangers installed. No Instructions were included but I believe its simple enough to figure out.

You have any pictures of the stock ond weapon x units side by side?

Will never understand vendors that expect folks to buy their products and don't even have the common courtesy to provide instructions. Like everyone that buys is a gearhead!

I was a little put off by that. Not that this particular install really required it but the little details go a lot faster if there is some examples of what to do and when to do them in the process.

Found some on Weapon X's site.

I have the weapon x coolers and the side ones were 100% identical to the factory ones. Every single dimension was exactly the same. I don't know what core they were comparing in the picture above, but I sure didn't get that one.

The center one was MUCH bigger though, at least.

The side definitely are not much bigger but during the install you can see why, mine didn’t really fit as well as the stock ones did. They are taller and a bit wider. As you mentioned the center it substantially bigger.

That's the thing, I actually measured mine and there wasn't a single dimension that was different. Mine fit like the stock ones did for obvious reasons. I felt kinda cheated but at least the center one was a big change.

Did you notice any negatives putting the larger Center one on the car? Do the fans work more? Wondered if it caused eng temps to rise making the fans to come on more since it blocks more air passing thru
