AFTERMARKET HEAT EXCHANGER - WORTH IT?
So my car currently is running a stock HE. Car has 180 lower pulley, headers, catless x pipe, ECU & TCU tunes and a trunk tank with a single superflow pump. The IAT is usually 17-25* above ambient. Recovery time is pretty decent.
I've read mixed reviews on before and after IAT with the addition to a aftermarket HE. Is it really worth the money or should i save the $300 and spend it elsewhere.

We can get you the PLM XL heat exchanger direct bolt on.

I just installed a secondary pump today and it helped drop IAT by a good amount. Currently running about 14-16* over ambient after a few pulls with a very quick recovery time.
think I’m going to put the $300 towards a custom tune instead

Definitely! When I had my E55, Kleemann headers, Shardul's machined pulley set, Bosch 010 pump, and PLM HE were the very first mods I did!
