Billet thermostat housing

Just wanted to throw out there that I am incredibly happy with my recent purchase of the DMS billet thermostat housing and post up some photos, since I see there appears to be a lack of them installed on anyone's car.. it adds subtle looks to the engine bay that isn't too over the top, AND it also provides resilience that the stock housing doesn't offer due to it being plastic and the upper hose being right in the line of fire of the belt if it ever snaps off or an idler seizes and munches the belt to shreds. No more risk of the plastic housing cracking either.

The option to use a more universal LS2/LS3 style thermostat assembly itself is a pretty nice feature as well. I wound up going with a factory GM 186* instead of their 160* which is still a step down in temp from the 194* that our cars come with provided by DMS themselves. Made the changes in HPTuners to make the most out of the new lower temps. Peace of mind and a worthwhile mod overall for a minimal amount of money.
