On the stock Intercooler with +80* outside temps.... IAT2's were 118-125* at the end of a 3rd gear pull.

With the Synapse and 80-85* outside temps.... IAT2's were at a max of 93* at the end of a 1/4 mile run!

Yep the hottest my IAT2s have ever been was 104* and it was 99* outside that day.

but I will say... Morgan has been very helpful and is taking care of me. Great customer service with him and Synapse.

My bumper fits better now than it did from the factory. I made sure everything lined up before I tightened all the fasteners down all the way.

The stock IC's water catcher sticks out from under the Cobalt's bumper a little was well. The stock core may be shorter but the Synapse IC sits a tad higher as it is right up against the bottom of the crash bar.

Dejons looks nice... I haven't seen it first hand. So I don't know much about it like... the core brand, fin density, flow rate, pressure drop, etc.
