Wow, $600 for an oil cooler. The prices of most of the popular LS1 aftermarket parts are outrageous. It's as if many of these manufactures forget the average value of 1998-2002 F-bodies are generally well south of $10k. Just a simple FAST intake manifold and this oil cooler cost over 20% of the total value of the whole freaking car.

It's Lingenfelter, nothing cheap has ever come out of there shop. You dont need an oil cooler unless your doing some serious racing or making a bunch of hp.

Here's what I did. The kit I saw on their site had lines for corvettes and the length would not work for My application.

Like was said before, You really don't need it unless your stepping up to some serious numbers.

If you don't like it or can't afford it, then don't buy it. Simple as that.

Wait...what? You didn't like his opinion, so instead of ignoring it you say he should have ignored your opinion? You can't expect shops to lower their prices just because our car's value is going down, power doesn't come cheap.

It is rather expensive. You could get a generic oil cooler from summit and fab your own lines for much less.

Fabing your own lines will very depending on where your at and what you use. I'm into mine about that amount or more. I made steel braded lines and buying local saved me a little over the rediculous freight charges summit charges.
