From my knowledge they work just as good as the boost bottle... but thats my experience with them. IM sure alot of people will say the same thing. If you looking for better cooling, change out the water pump for a billit one.

 

The site is slow right now also (so one click on post and it will post it, no need to go overboard, lol)

I had them on my KFX-700 and they didnt do anything noticeable. They look kinda cool, but as far as the 9 degrees drop in temp, i dont beleive it.

Oops!, didn't mean to post this three times. Anyway, that's what I thought. Thanks for the replies.

of course they work. blowing on youre rad with youre mouth "works" how well they work is another story. they do so little they might as well not be there.

 

to put it another way, there are plenty of other areas to spend the money that WILL get results..

I think that it would do more harm by restricting the flow of the coolent, then it would good by droping temp maby 1 to 2 dergees. I think I have a gay 8 fin off ebay on my 06. just my 2 cent

I'm wondering if these actually help with cooling, or is this just another boost bottle type gimmick?

My magic 8 ball says no, but I am sure someone with argue with me. :ermm:

I think the magic word missing here would be the term "significantly"... It would seem that anytime you add surface area to a cooling system, you increase the ability to discharge or release radiant heat through conduction. Hold you finger against the hot radiator....you have cooled down your radiator by the amount it took for you to form that blister!!

Adding a drop of cold water to a boiling pot of water also cools down that pot, just as insignificantly...

 

It's that damn "for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction" thingy...

Right. That is a better answer. My Magic 8 Ball is still working off of the V2.1b configuration. :geek:
