Intercooler installed in the best location for this platform

Utilizes factory air dams for exceptional airflow across the core.

100% compatible with the Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) system.

Highly effective core design

Bar and plate core with staggered and louvered fins.

Rigorous testing determined core style, fin density, and size.

Low pressure drop + highly effective cooling = high performance!

Smooth cast end tanks

Engineered for low turbulence/restriction and maximum flow.

Organically shaped to promote airflow across entire core.

Pressure tested to prevent power robbing boost leaks.

No hidden labor costs or permanent modifications

No trimming, cutting, or other costly modification required.

No modification to the Adaptive Cruise Control System require.
