EC heat exchanger vs PLM heat exchanger
Hey guys tried looking for some decent info on the forums but couldn't find much, which heat exchanger do you think is better? Do either of these require cutting of the bumper?
Thanks,
Deven

I've installed both. PLM bolts right up and is heavy. EC is much lighter, but requires drilling and you need to trim the bottom two tabs of the bumper.

mounting of the HC101 from frozen boost wasn't too bad, took me more time to find the correct adaptors from summit to run it to my split cooling tank ( aluminum) using AN adaptors.
