Default Coolant Bypass Kit

who makes a coolant bypass kit? or is it something most guys just put together themselves, and approximately how much does one of the kits run?

I did mine and dropped the A/C 12 degrees. Its easy and cheap I picked all the parts at the local hardware store.

I can take care of that Chevyboy

so what i've seen thus far is these kits seem to be very expensive for what it appears you're getting, most of it just looks like relatively simple parts, so why are they going for anywhere around $325-600. It's not about the money, but the majority of the stuff looks stupid simple, I guess I'm just looking for some input on why the things are so expensive, thank you for any response

so 2 people and myself have an interest in this? somebody has to be interested in this stuff

yeah that's kinda what i was thinkin, thank you, i just can't justify $600 bucks for shiny stuff when i can buy shiny hose covers for a fraction of the cost that people want for these kits
