Boost Your Ride with this Intercooler!

This intercooler is a game changer for any automotive enthusiast! After I put it to the test I noticed an immediate increase in horsepower and overall performance. The quality of this product is top-notch and it was easy to install. The only downside is that it is slightly more expensive than other intercoolers on the market, BUT the added benefits are worth the investment .Overall, I highly recommend this product to any performance car owner looking to take their ride to the next level..

Pros
  • Improved engine performance and horsepower with increased airflow
Cons
  • Pricing may be high for some customers

The tubing fit is too tight.

The fit is a little tight on the pipe side, making installation difficult. It took a little warm up time for it and the WD40 to get through the pipe. But my real gripe is that it only lasted 6 months before exploding while being towed on holiday. It was only a little over 30psi when it exploded. My truck only has light fuel mods and HE351 so it doesn't generate destructive acceleration values. I'm not impressed at all.

Pros
  • Hoses and Clamps
Cons
  • -
