Synapse or Hahn Intercooler?
yeah, I just ordered CIA's charge pipes (black), hot side only though. I've read about cold side being a complete PITA to install and not all that beneficial
plus a catless DP and CAI!

Now all I need to find is a emissions place that'll just freaking pass me so I don't have to take the CAT off next April!
Speaking of IAT's - my IAT1 has been up to 107 at it's highest with the stock intake (98 degrees out and sitting in traffic w/ A/C on)
my IAT2's have been all the way up to 209
This is according to the RPD too. Typically my IAT 1 is about the same when cruising at stop and go as the outside temp. Maybe +2-3 degrees max!
Need to see how they do once my CAI comes in and then I'll make judgment from there.

Hahn x 1,000,000. If you are worried about the nickels and dimes then go synapse. The Hahn IC is the largest intercooler on the market for our cars. Pricey? Yes. But you get what you pay for imo. I have always run Hahn products and will continue to do so. Ive learned the hard way about cheaping out on aftermarket parts for my ride. No more!

^^^no offense hahn has its flaws too as far as their parts go......ive had problems with their parts on previous cars and 2 of my friends have problems on their cobalts with intakes and charge piping and such. also just because the intercooler is largest doesnt mean its best especially with the stock on these cars. with an upgraped turbo the hahn intercooler i think would be more efficient. honestly i would get smax over all the the hahn and synapse buuuuut you have to modify the bumper a bit from what i read.
