Not sure if I wanted this in the tech or non tech, so I put it here. Feel free to move it if you deem it more techy

Apparently they are intercooler piping, but with a built in intercooler. Awesome idea, but it is about $400 for a 12" length!

 

wow! That IS a cool idea

 

I've seen those before. They're neat, but don't seem like they'd flow as well as a standard air-water intercooler.

 

that's been around for awhile. pretty good for a mid engine car with limited access to fresh air needed for a standard air to air intercooler. not going to be worth it on an fb.

 

its a nice replacement for say, a top mount t2 intercooler

 

If mounted on top, it would make a nice heat soat to help capture all of that wasted heat engine in the bay and properly channel it into the intake.

Even if mouted in the front, the only contact with the cool airflow is the limited surface area on the outside of the pipe. There is no way that this could dissipate heat as well as a regular intercooler. Now, if you had it running through an ice box...

 

^ You do realize that's a water-to-air intercooler, right?
