Z1, Stillen and other companies didn't reinvent the wheel they just put their name on it and ran the price up just because they are who they are. Oil coolers have been around much longer than Z1, Stillen or the other companies. The Kit i bought WAS a complete kit I just chose an easier route as far as the hoses were concerned.

Had I blown a line and had a major clean up or even worse a blown motor - No it wouldnt have been worth it. but as i admitted it was my lack of tools that created some of the leaks not the equipment. AND im sure if the name brand sshit blew, id still be out a motor since getting them to pay for the failure would be an act of congress.

Sorry Curtis, respectfully, ℱuck that. Again buying over priced
shit just because of a brand name for something that is not unique to its inventor is opulent ignorance. Ill give you an example:
I loved the way the Short tail exhaust sounded when i first heard it. When I went to go to AAM (the only company at the time making them) to price them out they were $429
2 pipes and a pair of tips for $429??? Retarded. So i went to a local muffler shop and i had them build a pair of shorty's with tips installed for $250. BOOM saved myself $200 (including shipping) and my car (in my mind) sounds awesome. The only draw back (and i could care less) is i can't put my parts list on the door.
yeah im cool.
