i prefer old japanese intercooler rather than new china or taiwan intercooler.
from outside,maybe u cant notice the difference.the fins looks so ugly,might not function properly too.maybe only mine like this,im not sure
last time when i want to sell my car,i took out my arc.so find back a replacement. i tot why dun i buy a new shining intercooler rather than buying another stock one to replace it.after i get one,i felt dun wan to fix it to the car.i buy another stock one and sell the cheapo china intercooler.it was very heavy too
for me arc build quality is the best
apexi hybrid looks good too
heres some pics
inside of the china/taiwan intercooler
crooked fins
inside of arc
some of the arc model got different inlet and outlet,the inlet fin slanted.reduce lag
