Rukse High Flow Thermostat Housing
Has anyone used one? Any reviews or opinions? It looks like it's between $50-$60, and an OEM goes for $17. Is it worth the price? I have been having overheating issues, and already checked the usual culprits (coolant, thermostat, water pump, lower radiator hose). Thanks for the info.

If you are having overheating issues, that isn't why. The OEM thermostat housing isn't the weak spot.
What shape is your fan clutch in? How about the electric fan? How old is the radiator?
Does it overheat at idle? On the highway? Both?

At operating temp feel the bottom radiator hose and return hose from heater core to make sure you getting good flow before changing parts. Also at operating temp with engine off spin the fan to see if fan clutch may need replaced. It should have some resistance and not spin freely at operating temp. Does elec fan kick on?
