inferno heat exchanger

[b4three]

Hello!! I purchased this heat exchanger on ebay, it was advertised to be made for the 2nd generation lightnings. I finally recieved it in the mail today and it doesnt look like it can work unless there is some major fabrication takien place. The main problem is that the hose inlets are on the sides, so there isnt enuff room between the frame to put the exchanger. The seller assured me that he has put this product on a lightning. The clamps and a hose is supposed to come with it(havent recieved it yet,shipped seperate). Would anyone be familiar with this product? Any advice /input would be much appreciated,,,to help me figure out what to do! Thank you!!! :??:

You sure its not like one of the JLP Supercoolers where it mounts in the box?

I dont think so, but im not too familiar with the JLP super cooler. This inferno heat exchanger is supposed to replace my stock one.

you might have gotten a gt500 one. contact who ever you bought it from to make sure they sent you the right one.

I would love to show some pics ,,but i am on vac using my parents old computer that barely even wants to work,,and on slow phone dial up. It resembles an AFCO, Fluidyne in appearance,size,quality,,,but the hose inlets are directly on each side of it(openings facing the fenders, if it was theoritically on the truck), unlike our stock exchangers or other aftermarket ones.

Thats exactly what I think it looks like, the seller even confirmed what it looks like. He told me that i got there latest one and it will work! I just dont see it working,, i really think I got the wrong one even though he doesnt think it is the wrong one. This sucks!!

I don't think thats the one. I actually am waiting on one of those right now and they look to be the correct inlet/outlets.

I believe this is the seller/heat exchanger, and it looks like in the pics that the inlet/outlets are the type he is talking about...

Jersey stang is correct! The one shown in the picture on ebay is not the one I recieved/expected. Thats when I did some research and found the one in my possesion is made by cxracing.com. The seller from ebay told me today he is arranging an exchange. Im glad about that cause if others bought what was advertised on ebay and recieved what i got,,there would be alot of pissed off people!(lol)

Boost freak, i believe u are correct that I recieved a shelby mustang one! thanks
