Message	1) are they bar and plate? if not then they don't even come close to stillen. Tube and fin doesn't compare to bar and plate. 2) stillens flow 1100cfm! Nothing has come close to that. 3)usable surface.. The exposed area with the stock front bumper on or even stillen or even most after market bumpers would hide most of the surface area of the intercooler. Thus the tallness of the intercooler gets wasted. 4) Air gets pushed thru the intercoolers a high pressure zone has to be established.. with out custom made ducts there is no way you can get air thru there fast enough. 5) Stillens have a high fin count.. So its not just about sizes either! 6) heat soaking is an issue..longer sheets of metal dissappate more heat. So thus the thicker the better. Remember those old school non fan cooled CPUs? with all those spikes.. So for all these reasons I still say Stillens are best next to FMIC for pure cooling... But they are not bad at all.. Car to post flow rates and fin count?
