I've had nothing but good experience with the tru-cools. I've put them on 3 cars now and some of the installs are 6-7 years old with absolutely no issues.
It's just a simple heat exchanger. Pay a little or pay a lot....the results end up being the same.. Remember too, the Stillen does not include a thermostat...

So I've been doing more research about the Tru-Cools. Looks like they are manufactured by Long, which is DANA Holding Corporation's automotive thermal cooling division.
I am basically trying to determine if I should spend the $60 on a Tru-Cool or $220 on a Setrab cooler. I can't really find any hard evidence on which one is "better," and can really only make assumptions based on what little I know about both companies.
I know Setrab is highly regarded in the industry, so their brand name carries a bit of weight. They are also produced on a much smaller scale than the DANA/Long built coolers. I think this would be the reason for much of the price discrepancy, but I'm not sure.
I'm willing to pay more for better quality and performance, but my question is... is that really necessary?
I apologize for this nonsense -- just trying to figure out which one I should buy.
