I know that bar/plate is supose to be more effeicent and stronger then a tube/fin intercooler. But they do cost more.
I jsut wanted to get an over all idea of what the members think of the two types of intercoolers not only on performance (cooling and stenght wise) but also looks and braging rights kinda thing. |
