While you need cooler intake air, you cannot afford to block airflow to your radiator. Our 64mm Tube-Fin core increases cooling volume significantly but uses a fin design that allows ample ambient air to pass through to the main cooling system. It prevents the engine overheating issues often caused by \"wall-like\" bar-and-plate cores.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEliminate Plastic Failures:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe stock LML intercooler is a temporary part living on borrowed time.
