Default Intercooled Rotrex system spy photos

We received our production intended sample pieces and I was able to sneak a few shots to pass on. Our black shortbed SS is now intercooled

Thanks,

The silicon couplers used are made just for this system and are designed to handle plenty of boost.

The bends are needed due to packaging restraints but are rather fluid.

The design will go through quite a bit of CFD type simulation soon. We just picked up the software. From an engineering standpoint the bends in the system will not effect flow of boost in a negative matter.

Thank you. Our systems are designed to be as bolt on as possible with no modification needed and to have an OEM type appearance.

I don't have any projected power figures as of yet but I will post the results here when I get them.

Here is our 5.3 non intercooled performance data on the same truck before the addition of the intercooler.

looking good. I was VERY interested in the twin rotrex setup a few months ago but went turbo instead.
