Default Intercooler Part 2

Although VMS had said that they are in the process of creating aftermarketpiping/intercooler for the stock intercooler, does anyone know of any aftermarket intercoolers/piping that I can use on my 04' s40?

No there is none. Sorry

You could fab your own FMIC system up which would be better then anything VMS came out with.

P.S.: VMS products suck.

I suggest you buy one of the FMIC intercoolers off EBAY that are real cheap. They work well. And you can get a univerisal piping kit off EBAY as well.

Just type in Univerial FMIC and you should find what you need. At least get the FMIC intercooler from EBAY and have a local shop fab up the pipes you need.

A FMIC will be better then an RIP kit you can buy and better then any OEM style intercooler you can buy.

Oh yeah it would be better, and actually smart to upgrade if you are planning to pump out alot of HP. The cooler you run the car the more efficient it will be.

Keeping an engine at a proper running temp is essential for a smooth running engine.

Just look at racing engines...
