CVF imo. I have it. No issues. Stays cool. Lots of good reviews. Good price good quality. Mishimoto def not. Wagner seems like another good option but CVF for me
+1

I have the black model. It looks badass. Unfortunately, nobody knows that but me. :)

Do I need to use a cooler thermostat when upgrading the IC. Best store to purchase purchase from, and is it plug and play or require additional parts?

The direct fit upgrades require nothing. A cooler thermostat may run the engine a little cooler, but basically has nothing to do much with cooling the intake charge.

In warmer weather an upgraded IC will let you make the power or keep it consistent. If you tune, it will help with the gains.

You do not need to change your thermostat, in fact I have not.

Get with @CVF-Jason to make your purchase. They may be running specials right now.

Jason was great to work with and he'll set you up with a good deal.

Good luck!

I've been running Mishimoto Intercooler for past 8 months no issues. Its exactly same quality as CVF which is also made in China. I actually prefer Mishimoto one because it has thick Rubber Gasket that runs all around Intercooler which seals opening that you have with CVF one after removing factory plastic shroud in order to fit Intercooler.

If you're asking about the Mishimoto, it's a direct fit swap. No additional parts or cutting. Retains louvers and fans. Just have to remove the plastic shroud on the factory CAC.
