I have a 2000 firebird with 90k on it and a CAI whisper lid and k&n air filter. What do you guys recommend a 180 termo from JET or Hypertech?

A thermostat is a thermostat. Just like a fuel filter, it won't make any difference what brand you get.Matt

There has got to be a difference between E-Murray(Oreilly's) and HyperTech. If not I would want my $$$ back. $4 as compared to what $32?

Hypertech doesn't make their own stats, they just resell someone else's with a huge markup. There's probably only 2 companies at most who actually make them.
Buy a $7 one next time? No need to spend $30Drivetrain Moderator - "There are no stupid questions, only stupid people!"

The only difference is that people think expensive ones are better, and are willing to pay for it.Originally posted by slow6:

Where do you see 3.8l thermostats for $32? That is crazy, I have sold a few 160* new ones to people on here for like $15 shipped. $32 is a rip off.
But yea just get the one at murray'sComment

I didn't even bother to check prices until now, but a Hypertech thermostat is only $10.Matt

Ultralites are nearly 25% lighter than the stock 1.6 rockers and 8% lighter than the SLP aluminum...02-07-2020, 10:30 PM
