I'm installing them and according to the instructions...

"Through Core Mounting" is that safe? It concerns me because do they really want me to have it held on by the little fins???

Ok, done! Installed the fans and my F/C/R strut bars. Now, I'm annoyed. I spent $200 on these fans and there was NO difference in the thickness of the important fan(the one in front of my GT Headers). Well, MAYBE and I do mean MAYBE 1/4 of an inch. I'm so mad. This blows!

I took pics but with a regular camera so I'm going out tomorrow to get them developed because they happen to be the last ones of the roll. I'll post up when I get them back. They are pretty loud... much louder than the stock ones with the hood open and stuff but in the cabin you don't notice them while driving.

slimline fans will save you about an inch over stock... (every inch matters, especially when turbo...)

keep in mind that your fan cooling system is twice as good over stock or other fans on the market.

Both of your stock fans equal the pushing (or pulling) power of one single fal fan. you have two... so enjoy.

I like how they sound... they sound powerful, like fans should.
