Round trans cooler? Does anyone know anything about these trans coolers that are 12"-18" long, kind of round, and have fins surrounding them? They come in different colors. Are these any good or are they pure junk? I've never seen them before till today. Just curious.

Shape should make no difference , I have seen those they are interesting looking , All coolers basically work the same reguarless of shape but I have found the flat tube type like we are giving away this weekend with trans are more efficent from measureing temp in and out by about 20 percent over the round tube versions

no the tubes are flat instead of round gives a greater cooling area cooling only happens where the fins contact the tubes round or flat

Actually the round tube coolers have less contact area with the fins and must be larger physically to do the same job.
