Thanks! It was not very hard to do, just used all original brackets and either cut them and made new holes, or had to bend to get proper clearances. I am still surprised Magnasun does not do this as part of the kit. Must not fit all applications as easy.

Hey I forgot one thing...
Has anyone put fine mesh screen in front of the exchangers to stop bugs and debris from sticking to them. I tried it years ago in my car and it was okay but it must restrict alot of air flow. Would it be enough to cause issues? I don't like ruining my new exchanger and rad.

what was the total cost of the setup? and what are the dimensions of the CTS-V I/C?

Dimensions are on first page of post, cost was $220 I think plus my exchange rate, duty, taxes, shipping... (Canadians get screwed). There was no other costs to it other than exchanger, my time, and maybe 1-2L coolant.

I see it now, so roughly twice the height. If I didn't already run dual heat exchangers I'd be all over this. FYI, I noticed about a 3-5 deg IAT reduction at the track

I definitely like the simplified routing of I/C tubing on your setup, and the fact that it fits in one location. I see you have efans, one of the biggest benefits of a larger H/E is realized when you can draw air through it at low speeds or when stopped. I see this working very nicely for you.

here's what my setup looks like:
