I installed the full kit, inclusive of the cooler, on my 100% track car, in February this year. Install was a bit of a beast, as other noted, but it was a bit better with these cheap AN wrenches from Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Billet-Alumin.../dp/B06XSZCD87
However, if you're tracking your car, and truly pushing it, I can't recommend it. I do commend CB on their customer service as they were responsive and respectful, but to make a 4mo story short, I had 1 leak (identified in grid on a wet day when they saw a slick under my car) and 2 complete failures of the system. The first one I smelled it first and was able to ease off and get offline and make it to the pits, but not before the whole underside of the car was covered in ATF. After the first failure (HP line blowout) they sent new lines and fittings to restrict flow with a theory that different model years/iterations of the factory system had different levels of restriction and that these new additions should fix the situation. They also provided a full refund at this time. Like I mentioned, CS was stellar. So I installed all of that updated hardware and it ran well for 2.5 events. Until it didn't. Another system failure at T12 at my local track of PIR. It led to a small spin, but luckily nothing major despite that being a bad place to spin. Another line failed and all of the lines looked like they were overheated. Needless to say, that was the end for me. 3 ruined track days. A couple I missed waiting for new parts. Not to mention the MESS of cleaning up the underside of the car, the driver side wheel, driver side of the car, my trailer and driveway! I'm 100% OE now and don't anticipate any issues (I didn't really have any true issues before, it was just weeping and messy and I tried to "upgrade" for the same price).
Also, now I'm pretty sure my PS pump is making noise, likely as a result of being so hot and/or low on fluid after the system failed and I limped the car to the pits.
With all of that said, I have one of their coolers, with the 2 clamps, available for sale. 100% functional as new.
I can send pics of failed lines to anyone who may care. I'm not trying to blow up CB on here, but considering the consequences of an outright failure of the PS system on track, I felt compelled to share. For a street car, I'd have ZERO concerns with this system.
