First off, I would like to say the installation went rather smooth. I think having access to a lift or jack stands would make the installation extremely simple. I on the other hand only had access to my apartment parking lot and the jack that is located in the trunk.

Due to the angle of the exit of the stock HE, it made it difficult running the hose to the inlet of the LFO HE without the hose pinching and I didn't want to restrict any of the flow. I ended up removing the flow of the stock HE and using the LFP HE as the primary and only HE.

Now to the actual review...

Cosmetic...it just flat out looks bad ass! It gives a very clean, agressive look to the front of the car, which intensifies the shape of the front bumper.

At start up I let the car run for ten minutes while ensuring that all the air bubbles had cleared up and there was a proper amount of coolant in the system. I used a total of 32oz with a 50/50 mix of dex-cool and water. After the car running and just sitting in the heat for a while, I finally got in and noticed that the IAT2 was 4 degrees cooler than IAT1!

I figured I'd take it out on the road and see what it really does under high boost and high humidity at 68%, temperature of 90 degrees and heat index of 97 degrees. I accelerated hard out of the parking lot and the IAT2 was only 10 degrees above IAT1. After severall times of going WOT in 2nd and 3rd I noticed the temps hardly rose up.

In conclusion, I noticed a 30 degree drop from earlier in the day of exact same conditions. You can definitely feel a large difference and the s/c even screams a little more. I highly suggest this product! On top of the gains you will notice from this alone, you can add timing through HP Tuners.

~LFP Supertank Intercooler Reservoir (Ice Box)

BTW, I will be doing a "How To" when LFP actually puts this out on the market (hopefully in the next 10 days).

Can you send me the HPT log?

I've noticed similar temps w/ the Cobra HE from time to time, but they were nowhere near the norm and didn't paint a true picture of what I was seeing.

Overall, I saw about a 30 degree drop (need to retest now that I have the air out of the system) as well. The only difference is that I'm running DEI Chill Charger.

Just trying to get a true apples/apples comparison between the Cobra and the LFP.

what do you think the price on this would be? brackets and all.

Sorry, no HP log...just constant watching of the interceptor, writing it down, coming of the results and putting down a final conclusion.

I bet she is running stinking cool now. Thinkin 5-10 degrees F over ambient temps. The Cobra exchanger can run cool to the touch, I bet yours is stone cold. Lets see some notes
