New intercooler and tailpipe!

Well? Did you drive it yet?
You can see the difference in the cores, your new intercooler appears to have a core similar to what I had with my old setup. Did you look inside and compare as well?

The inside is more dense as well.
I drove it last night, and im not sure exactly what it is between the better intercooler, bigger compressor wheel, and more timing but the truck feels strong as hell. I did a quick test and saw less of a temp rise but it wasn't a fair test, in favor of the previous cooler, granted. I haven't measured pressure drop yet.

That is a damn nice piece , especially for the money!
Tailpipe looks good too, any drone with bieng dumped under the bed?
Isnt it awesome when you change stuff and you actually feel power on the butt dyno?!!!
I too had to cut thru my front headlight supports to mount and run cooling lines for my HEX, kinda surpriseing all that plastic up there huh
I wanna ride man!

I think its actually quieter with the tailpipe than it was with it point straight back...
I have it set for about 15 degrees at WOT, so 4 more degrees than I was using.

Yea that extra 4 degrees should be very noticable. If sure the cooler IAT's are helping a lot too. When we were tuning mine we set the timing to16 degrees across the board and thats where it is at now, but one run idk what happened and It jumped to 22 degrees! It got straight sideways at 70! Makes me really want to run a meth kit so I can turn up the timing a little lol. Anyways glad its working good for you buddy!
