I disagree. I haven't been quoted shipping out of the states on anything lately, less than US$50 and the last was for a welding helmet that weighted about 2kg.

I'd love to know exactly what they mean by a "full CNC'd alloy core" they've already told us it's tube and fin so where the phuck does the CNC part come into it.
It's just advertising crap Bruce, nothing to get excited about and having a close look at the internal core it's nothing to write home about. It's a very free flowing core but the heat transfer with a severe lack of internal "turbulators" will not be good at all.
The 1st pic is their core the next is a comparison between OEM, K&J Thermal and Adrad core designs, these cores will remove heat very well indeed although the pressure drop will be slightly worse.
Regards Andrew.

I ain't gettin reamed because I ain't paying it.

But courier delivery seems to only ever start at US$50 and up, even for fairly small, light things. Often the sellers aren't offering any other methods of delivery.

It's OK though, I'll just get you to get your outlaws to send it for me in the future. :finger:
