I've installed the CR kit. Definitely a great option for guys that want above oem level cooling with a chop.

Also great when you need to pull a leaky mtntk kit and you didn't save the oem crossover tube.

We did chop and used the MNT Tek kit. Works great. No leaks. We did notice our kit did come with Permatex RTV silicon not epoxy. And we also added a extra step in cleaning the aluminum. We used Sodium Hydroxide to etch the inside of the cooler. We wanted to make it was super clean and etched to adhere better to the RTV. The rest we fallowed the instructions to the letter.
