This BladeRunner Intercooler represents the next generation of intercoolers. The BladeRunner intercoolers utilize a 2.5" bar and plate design that is larger than stock and outflows OE style tube and fin core designs by 36%!
End Tanks: The unique BladeRunner end tanks are constructed out of 3/16'' TIG-Welded aluminum plates that incorporate seven multi-directional vanes throughout the intercooler.
Multi-Directional Vane Technology: The BladeRunner MDV technology is used to direct hot airflow through the entire intercooler core. This allows for greater cooling than competitors units.
2.5" Bar and Plate Core Design: The use of the bar and plate core design allows for greater airflow and increased heat dissipation over the much smaller tube and fin design used by the OEM.
Multiple Auxiliary Ports: Four tapped 1/8" NPT ports are supplied on the intercooler tubes for easy installation of gauges or nitrous oxide systems.
Billet Aluminum Inlet/Outlets: Each BladeRunner Intercooler uses billet aluminum inlets and outlets for superior strength and durability. This intercooler also features 3" inlet/outlet connections mated to stock boost tubes.
Tig-Welded: 100% TIG-Welded by certified craftsmen for race proven strength and durability. TIG-Welding provides the strongest welds reducing stress cracks.
The BladeRunner Intercooler is test pressure rated at 200psi which is perfect for high boost applications.

Great product! I enjoy the cost compared to other brands and the quality was well built. 2 things I wish had come with the cooler is new groomers to mount to the radiator and an adjustable bracket. The driver side mount is slightly off centered so it can be difficult to install the retaining boot.
The color option is great while I would love a powder coated black option. The aFe Intercooler paired very well with my aFe hot and cold pipes on the GMC Sierra.
Install is more advanced as you have to remove the fan, radiator and intercooler to remove. You also have to remove headlights and upper support bracket or loosen the washer resovior, remove the aux battery and bracket to slide the intercooler out.
