Which Intercooler to get?

The data really doesn't lie in this case, and while science dictates that larger intercoolers will cool more it's been proven that a stock replacement unit can really have a significant effect on cooling.

Our data (in the link below and which has been replicated in the forum review from a customer of ours) shows 40+ degree difference in cooling capacity from a stock replacement intercooler alone.

You can spend well over 2x the price of our unit for a larger intercooler (that requires relocation), but our (data-backed) argument is that you likely won't get 2x the cooling - just the cost.

And have you tested with the front license plate blocking the intercooler intake like every ******* runs their truck?

Looks like you got none in stock.

We experienced a bit of a run after jgree was nice enough to post the review a few weeks back, but expect some back in stock soon - feel free to reach out for a discount code to soften the blow a little bit on the wait!

We expect to have some in mid-to-late October.

There is not. Are they both bar a plate?

We're very much bar and plate, and our end tanks are cast (rounded out to facilitate max air flow through the unit).

C'mon maaaan, there has been a Metric Shit-ton of threads on this subject, constantly on the first page, EVERY DAY, and we gotta make ANOTHER THREAD about Intercoolers?!?!

AMS seems similar to CVF in design but twice as much. Wondering is there is any difference between two.

AMS is slightly larger, at 21x10.25x5.5 vs CVF is 20.5x4.5x9.

Both are bar and plate design.

Anyone is running AMS? Any thoughts ?

If you want the least amount of modification, go AMS. If you want the largest size available, go COBB.

Go big! Lol

I just finished installing the CVF and it was spot on perfect factory fit. I think all factory replacement IC's require removing the IC fan shroud but it just clips off easy. Great product, incredible how bad it makes the factory setup look. This is a must for front license plate states.
