The ignorance in this thread is strong 
Listen to what everyone is saying. It absolutely CANNOT be used to cool air, in fact you would be better off pissing on your stock pipes, than attempting to use that heap of ----.

now that everyones saying no. id like to see what it could accualy do if you attempted to use it
hell computer heat sinks are going to ---- that looks like
that using heat pipes opposed to using an all alumnium fin heat sink. maybe it would work. but ----. since everyones saying no try it anyway. test the capability to cool charge air. with that vs a normal tube and fin intercooler.

I dont know if I wanna test it, lol if I do I'll get flamed, I dont see why air wouldnt move through it fast enough though, but I think i'm just going to stick with a Probe intercooler for now untill I can get something better, but ---- it really, I'm getting a better job soon and am going to maybe buy another LS motor and build an LS VTEC with ITB's, i've always wanted to build one is these, i'm not going to put more money in to this car anymore since next summer i'm getting an EK civic hatch.
