Default Does it really matter what size my intercooler inlet/outlet is?

Hey, I was wondering since my charge pipe is 2.5" diameter that connects to my intercooler air inlet/outlet pipings that measures 2". Does it really affect performance?

You'll be fine with the intercooler connectiong to 2.5". It's only a half inch bigger, no big deal. It will still work, and you won't notice a difference in power.

what kind of intercooler are you running? I just custom made my intercooler off a bigger intercooler. So i was just wondering if it really matters.
