Not likely. Our IC is a very good value at $399. We have tested it against other popular ICs and found that ours outperforms them. It also will not have weld crack issues common with thin sheet metal end-tank designs. These ICs have been completed, sent to the polisher and completed there. I have been told that they are on a truck right now and should arrive any day.

temperature delta and pressure differential. Whichever produces the greatest temp drop for the least pressure loss is the best intercooler to go with, I would love to see confirmed dyno testing with this intercooler vs. stock or for that matter a screenshot of hp tuners or something else comparing the IAT2 vs ambients in the same driving situation. I don't mean to put down all these companies but you get big names like banks and msd, moroso, crane, comp cams and on and on who have paperwork to back up performance gain claims. All I am asking is that before anyone spends 400 dollars on an intercooler to understand the stock IC is VERY good for what it is and is pretty hard to beat at that cooling surface size. I am not saying it isn't better, don't confuse that with my request to see just how good this intercooler is, I said this before, show me gains on paper (in this case a screenshot is fine) over my stock intercooler and you have me sold on one TIME NOW.

I never planned on getting a diff. IC, but after hitting two racoons and having to replace it both times, I decided on getting ZZP's intercooler. The stock IC would of cost me more to have it replaced through the collision center. I feel I am getting a better IC for less cost.

Numbers would be nice. If we can get more than a 5whp gain on stock turbo it would be a go for me.
