OK guys - I've kicked around the logo and tried a few different ones
Don't like it due to the "o's"
and how long it is
So no logo - sorry

BUT, I'm bringing in Black intercoolers next week so there will be a black intercooler option to order if desired

Before I go crazy with that idea, is there a lot of interest in that or ?????
I'd be in for a black one [:D]

...I'd switch to black on my order if there's no performance difference....
I'll just leave this right here : Engineering Explained - Black Intercoolers

It'll look real nice, sure, but apparently it makes it work harder to cool the air. I'm not sure what difference it'll make to those of us who are daily driving vs those who need every last hp squeezed out... I think I could probably still get by with it just fine.

What about milder climates? Does it matter?

If it's painted, yes, it works harder.
But anodized coloring shouldn't effect the cooling properties at all

the description on the order page says "black painted core". I assume that means it's painted, but it could be powder-coated or something... but it's probably painted. Either way, I'm not driving a race car. I think the neat factor outweighs the performance for me.

Yeah the loss in cooling is probably minimal. Probably wouldn't even notice

Guys.....

I know my price is $20 higher than the competition "BUT" I have a forum coupon code for 5% that you can use that brings you down to the same price

And you don't have to wait 2-3 weeks for my intercoolers, I have them[nutkick]

Someone needs to make a bigger ic like DHM.
I agree with this
Aside from the fact that the OEM crash bar should remain intact

I love the look and have made tubular chromoly replacements for my SRT-4's but the masses don't want to replace that part due to insurance reasons
The stepped cores the Euro guys get are sweet
That's what this market needs in my opinion if you need a core larger than the OEM location replacement unit like I'm selling in this thread

Please post up when you get that exhaust on.... That's the one on my list...
Will do, may be about a month, still waiting to get my lift. I had wanted an exhaust for a while now, but didn't really like any of the offerings, whether it was because of the looks (like a single exit) or the sound. Once I saw and then heard the Thermal, I knew it was the one I wanted

I second this! My soon to be wife will not accept highway drone... She refers to drone as "a cheap shitty exhaust" and than mentions fart cans hahaha. I can't live with that ridicule ;)

just googled up stepped cores. that is pretty trick!

And thank you for bringing more options to market and having clean UI for your website
