Regarding the cooler, right now I'm not installing one, just the remote filters setup. Restriction should not be a problem, and all the installs that I read about, reduced flow was never an issue. And the remote setup provides a small amount of cooling, but nothing as significant as running a cooler.
BTW, i read where the dual filter setup run the filters in parallel, not series, so the flow rate actually drops in half as the oil is split between the two filters, which helps reduce or eliminate any restriction issues.

So on a dual filter setup, the oil isn't filtered twice? The flow is split across the two filters and then rejoined as it goes back into the engine? That actually makes pretty good sense, because if the you ran identical filters in series and the first filter is functioning properly, the second filter is pretty much along for the ride.
Good luck on the install. I'd imagine on your V6 car there should be plenty of room up in front of the motor to find a nice place to tuck them in and still have good access for filter changes.
FWIW I have my Amsoil stuff in a day or two tops. They have a distribution warehouse in Lancaster PA (I think?) so its no worse than ordering from Summit or Jegs, but not quite as convenient as thte local parts supply shop.
