As the title says, I installed the CV Fab intercooler. Took me and a buddy about an hour. It’s a quality piece and far better than the stock intercooler. I noticed last week when it was 115 degrees that my performance really dropped off. I’m sure the new cooler will help with that.

The major benefit you will get is @WOT,on partial throttle, not much air going threw to be cooled, I highly recommend S&B intake or any intake with closed box to maximize the effect.

It’s on my list after doing much research. Was originally going to go FMIC but it blocks the radiator and the install looks like more than I want to tackle. Since I’m upgrading my bumper I figure it’s a good time to swap the IC

Did you have to make any modifications to install it?

No sir. Bolts right in.
@Flash1034 did you not have to remove the plastic shroud that sits on the back side of the shutters? I just installed my CVF IC on Saturday and had to remove that piece. Other than that, it's definitely as simple as removing the old IC, swapping a couple pieces over from the old to the new, and then installing the new IC in place!

@Flash1034, when you removed your OEM IC, was there any oil inside the hot side (blue) hoses? Mine had a little...I'm not sure if that's normal or not.
