The ACM bracket (link below) that Eddie and Cindy made (before DV8 had one) goes in the same location and utilizes the ARB single compressor. They've put a lot of miles on it and had no issues with heat from the cat.

First off, I can't say that I'm a fan of DV8 and mainly because so much of what they make are just chinese knock offs of better products. That being said, there have been a lot of people who've installed a twin in this location and HAVE had problems with it cutting out. I can't say for sure if heat was the cause but it would seem probable especially being that it's so big.
Thanks for posting this up JTCO. As you've mentioned, we've put on a lot of miles and hard use with our single mounted in this location and without ANY problems. Not only is it a lot more affordable to do, it also seems to get the job done well. But of course, that's just based on my experience. :yup:
There was another forum member making under the hood mounts, I got one from him lying on the table if you want it. It mounts a little farther away from the exhaust vs DV8 but generally in the same area. I had it installed and worked great just does not fit with my aftermarket inner fenders I installed recently. I moved the compressor into the rear cargo storage area cubby thing.
Either way never had any issues related to heat etc.
