Looking at a new heat exchanger.....question.

I found this heat exchanger on ebay, it's from a company that I have doubts about being a China Parts Pusher, anyway, is it logical to have the inlet and outlet on the same side? I dont see where a divider has been welded into the end-tank, so Im wonder how some of the fluid just wont end up getting pushed right back out of the outlet.

I was also looking at their headers, but I am a little scared of those, (PLM)

one car at a time
Don't do it and just keep the stock heat exchanger and buy a Killer Chiller instead...You'll spend about the same and the Killer Chiller will keep your IATs much, much cooler. I don't have one yet, but I wish I had gone this route from the start and plan on installing one soon.

E55 HE have inlets and outlets on the same side. My Eurocharged HE is the same thing. The HE is a dual pass which means coolant goes through the top to the end tank on the other side them comes back around at the bottom of the HE. Most parts nowadays are made in China... even Kleemann stuff. PLM I know is made in China for sure, but their HE design is taken straight from Code 3 performance. I have installed one on my friend's E55 and I felt it was good quality overall. Direct bolt on to the car. It was 100% easier than installing my EC HE that required me to drill rivets, drill holes, etc.

This place is a joke.
Bought this exact same H/E from the same people, no problems, fit without a hassle, and yes there is a divider welded in there, I checked. This in conjunction with the latest part# bosch intercooler pump and I survived a hot Florida summer with no supercharger cutout.

These HE's have been around for a while now.. Seems like a decent product.

HE is good. But, +2, if I have chance again, I would do KC instead!
