That's funny. There's so many resonators on the intake plumbing it's ridiculous. Goes right and down and then in and then down and on and on and on. Why can't they just make it go right and then back. hehe. Seems so much simpler huh?

Maybe not your A/C, but will it make your heat colder? My understanding is that the heater uses heat produced by the engine to warm the air blowing into the car's interior. If you reduce the operating temp, won't the heat be colder?

No, read again. The temperature of the ENGINE will be cooler, but the temperature of the COOLANT will be the same. The heater uses coolant.

Actually, I suspect that it may actually make the heater WARMER because of improved heat transfer to the heater core

are you sure you understand what's going on? if your engine is cooler, your coolant will be cooler. when you see an decrease in your temp gague reading, it means your engine and coolant are running cooler. after all, you temp gauge monitors your coolant temp.

and i doubt you will be able to tell a difference in your heater.

dewey, i get what your sayin but thin about it: if your engine runs at about 220-250 degrees (guessing) and the water wetter drops the temp to 190-230, wuld you really notice the difference in temperature. Humans make for shitty thermometers. If ya dont beleive me have a friend put both your hands in one hot and one cold water bucket at the exact time-you cant tell which is which. So it may lower it (or more acurrately raise it due to better heat capacity) but a difference that high in the temp. range can't be noticed
