    What car are you trying to install on? Anyway, it is universal. Pepboys, Autozone, and Advance Auto Part all have them for less than $50. They come in different size. Measure the clearance first before you go to buy. Summit racing has a lot for cheap also.

    yea i know they have the discount auto store stuff but i can factory ones for free so i was wondering how well they work. i how was hoping since theyre oem theyd work better than the aftermarket stuff.

    looking to put one on a accord. my girls auto tranny is Fn up and im sure it only slips when the tranny gets too warm. im just tryn to lengthen the life of it because we dont have the time or money to drop another tranny at the moment.

    Well, I don't know how good OEM one works. But good call installing trans cooler! I installed one for my friend auto accord and it makes a difference, so def worth it!

    Advance Auto Parts. Yes, I use their stuff and nothing is wrong with that. I use general maintainance stuff only, not high performance stuff. Tran coolers are almost same design everywhere, just tubes and fins. They carry Hayden transmission coolers in different sizes. I've installed 3 of them already and no problem. I installed in my accord, my friend's accord, and my sis's recently. They all run fine and perform well. I'm very picky when it comes to brand and quality, but non high tech and general stuff I use whatever cost efficient. If you want to spend more, use FLEX A LITE brand. I used them before also, cost more and IMO they are all same.

    If you have the front end room, why not run dual coolers? I ran double coolers on my turbo volvo for years and it held up quite well. Also ran them on my friends car, and he was pushing over 120shot of nitrous through it, as well as 18lbs boost. Held up and still going strong. Dual coolers is where its at.
    My car is factory....



    Every single performance part and or modification it has was made in a factory somewhere.
