I also see thermal tape on the exhaust. Was that factory or aftermarket?

And how does it get air?
From the inside of the rear wheel well?

Looks like that would be a vulnerable position from tire kick up, but Iguess not.

Does the series car have a cooler here as well? I just got my car and have not had it up yet.

odd placement for it. Wouldnt think it would see alot of flow throught the core. Im sure the extra fluid capacity helps keep temps down alone though.

No need to be placed in the airflow, itīs just an heat exchanger.
My fridge does the same thing stationary - no need to push it through the kitchen going 30mph
