The Mishimoto stack plate coolers are very good, as are the Earl's ones. They can take hits from road debris and stay intact.

I like Nightmare stuff, but I personally would run better fittings. The Aeromotive tapered fittings flow much better, less restriction (true to size passage), and have less of a psi/flow drop. Compare them to others and the difference is very obvious.

It's crazy how much even name-brand fittings neck down in the passage, and it can force you to go up a size. In general, for oil, you don't want to run 90s. If you have to run a 90, run one of the Aeromotive ones (hose fitting), but due to the radius, you may not be able to.

Some headers have a tube that gets very close to the block where the filter housing adapter is, so you need to be careful of that.

Just some of my personal experience(s) I'm sharing...
