Features

Advanced core design for performance that far exceeds the capabilities of the factory intercooler

The core is a large bar-and-plate design with densely packed, staggered and louvered fins. The design offers exceptional cooling while balancing pressure loss across the core and maintaining critical airflow to the parts behind the intercooler. The result is reliable performance in the toughest situations!

Smooth intercooler end tank design for low turbulence/restriction and maximum flow

To fully utilize the massive core, APR cast aluminum end tanks are organically shaped for proper airflow distribution across the entire core. One-piece end tanks are CNC machined to provide a slip-resistant mounting surface for hoses and perfectly flat connecting surfaces for TIG welding the tanks to the core.

Secure mounting brackets for ease of installation

APR mechanical engineers designed CNC-bent and TIG-welded mounting brackets to securely hold the intercooler in place. The brackets make the install extremely easy. With the bumper and factory intercooler unit removed, the APR intercooler installs in minutes without any cutting, drilling or trimming.

Secure fastening with stainless steel hose clamps

Clampco T-bolt clamps are used throughout, replacing the factory worm-gear clamps. The clamps are made from stainless steel and diminish the risk of boost leaks. The clamp’s thick clamping style provides increased connection strength and decreased hose slippage compared to other styles of clamps.

Silicone hoses made with EZ-flow technology to provide smooth airflow

The hoses are made from multi-ply silicone and wire-reinforced to prevent swelling and bursting at high boost pressures. They are lined with fluorosilicone to resist oil and gasoline deterioration. Their EZ-Flow stepped design ensures a smooth airflow path at the hose transition points.

Matte black CNC-machined housing for secured sensor placement and a great look

A billet MAP sensor housing provides a secure mounting point for the factory pre-throttle MAP sensor. The precision CNC-machined housing helps prevent leaks around the sensor, and the matte-black anodizing gives the housing a clean and attractive look within the engine bay.

Product Details

Front Mount Bar-and-Plate Design Intercooler System by APR®. unfortunately, to the untrained eye, many intercooler designs appear the same. however, effectiveness of the system and overall performance are greatly determined by several key metrics. alloy selection, end tank design, construction type, fin style, fin density and overall core dimensions must be analyzed and balanced accordingly to deliver class-leading performance. while the oem’s goal is to create a lightweight, easy to manufacture and inexpensive to produce, cross-platform design capable of supporting factory power levels, apr’s intercooler must be capable of supporting more than double the factory output. achieving this goal took a multi-step approach focused around intercooler core selection, end tank design and install location. The APR Intercooler System dramatically lowers charge air temperature and resists heat soak far better the factory intercooler system. Through a massively increased core volume, superior intercooler core design and smooth, cast end tanks, APR’s engineers were able to create an intercooler capable of supporting power levels well beyond that of the factory unit. Expect increased horsepower and torque and dramatically prolonged performance.
