I also have it marked down on my "don't forget to order" list. (Of course, I forgot). Thanks for reminding me.  I am going to put one on also.  I STILL say....it can't hurt !!!  Paul Conner

 

You’re right; it can’t hurt – just don’t expect too much of it.  Unless my math is wrong; a quick calc of surface area estimates that it adds maybe about 100 sq. in. of surface area.  Your stock Mazda cooler probably has maybe about 350 - 400 sq.in of surface in one inch of its length.  Factor in the likely lower heat transfer coefficient and … well; you get the picture.

 

But, then; hey – that’s just theoryJ.  But it does look kool.
