intercooler?

[Spody02]

so i found the intercooler i want and the only problem is it 3in inlet and outlet and i'm gonna be running 2.5in charge piping, do you think it would be fine if i just get some couplers to 2.5 to 3 and have no air flow problems, i dont think i will but i just wanna double check :???:

NOT speaking from experience, it will be fine. logically, going from any size piping to an intercooler, you are going from a small area to a big area back down to a small area. you are just adding one more step from the small to big. as long as all of your piping is 2.5 in with the exception of the intercooler you are good.

shouldnt be an issue. those transition couplers are pricey though! lol. make sure to get t bolt clamps on them, you will have a higher chance of blowing the couplers off.

Yes they are, so are the hump connectors. and bends.

or you could just buy one of my srt4 fmic's and not have to buy those. they are 2.5 inlets.

why will you not just pick one that is the right size? really now you can get a good FMIC off of ebay

yup, theres nothing wrong with ebay fmic's

I was going to buy this one, seems perfect for my G2. Check the dimensions on a G3, you will be able to keep your bumper support with it.

i used my bumper support to my advantage. i used a plasma cutter to cut out the part for the intercooler and then drilled holes in the top to mount it. freaking badical. im selling my intercooler btw. i want 200 for it, cost me 300. 2.5 inlet and outlet.

i dont have a bumper support any more.
