My oil pressure is unchanged since the install. My car is a 2022 and sits right around 40-45 at idle. Another benefit of this system is it adds an extra quart of oil to the system.

Yes. It is super easy, just connect the 2 lines together and tuck behind the headlight bracket.

Deleting the OEM oil cooler requires removing the coolant line from the water pump. Improved racing sells a delete kit, but the cap for the OEM radiator hose doesn't fit and I didn't like a rubber cap idea anyway. I used the water pump block off plug in the kit, but made my own solution for the lower radiator hose. The OEM hose is just a coupler with a Tee coming off to return the coolant to the system. I just removed the tee and installed a 1 1/4" straight coupler.

Thank you for the details! It's a project I want to get done this winter, and I wasn't really hot on the idea of reducing blower coolant capacity.

Very clean install and great idea! What fittings and hose brand did you use?
