Damn he ------- owned you.
If I were to go with an intercooler, I probably would go with CCA. It's been proven to be a good intercooler time and time again so hey, that's cool by me

You said you got the intercooler straight from CCA which obviously wasn't so becuase he doesn't sell polished intercoolers. Therefore it probably isn't a CCA intercooler. Your setting yourself up to get owned again becuase you obviously didn't get it straight from CCA like you said.

Now a lot of tube and fin cores are implementing some turbulators on the inside to up their efficiency. Not sure how well they work as I have no experience with them, but I'd imagine they are a bit of improvement over the old ones with no turbulators at all. Ask for some pics of the insides of the cores and see if their tube and fin cores have turbulators.

Re: LSD Intercoolers?
i just got my cca today, it has alot of tubulators or w/e, i can see how it cools the air, i like it alot better than most intercoolers ive seen on the market. it has a nice fit in most hondas, fits perfect in my bumper, although i wont be turbo for a while, since i decied to take the safr route and build my motor. but the quauily is nice from cca, u can tell there professional welds, nicly cut endtanks and what not. its one of the better "NAME BRANDS" out there, haha, it is a name brand so what now :P

Re: LSD Intercoolers?
We have tested our SRT-4 tube and fin unit against the other guys SRT-4 bar and plate units. For half the price, our units perform exactly the same or better at the track, on the street and on the dyno. Many customers have made this comparison as well. We get Emails all the time saying My buddys got a Greedy/Speerco/AIS/PSI-FI unit he paid $750 for and I got yours. We went to the track and ran the same times. And as an added bonus the tube and fin core is lighter.
