My first opinion would be that it is probably made for using in racing car with high flow pump because if you install 2 filters so the oil can go to one or the other, your pressure would drop for sure, how much I don't know but I'm pretty sure you'll need a high flow pump.



Just note that it's only an opinion. :sigh:

Summit sells those kits. I doubt you would need that on a street car

In fact if you take a look at the oil path you'll see that the oil pressure sender is right before the filter so if you have an easier flow in the filter your oil pressure will drop down a little. This doesn't mean your engine would get less oil, it could even have more pressure in your rotors as well as the rest of the engine since the pressure will be held by the eccentric shaft oil jets. So a double filter system or bigger filter could be a good thing after all.

Racing Beat sells the kit, along with a block to adapt to mount where the stock filter is now to block it off and has the fitting for the lines for the dual cooler.
