Intercooler Core; 22in x 9.85in x 4in

The Intercooler Core measuring 22in x 9.85in x 4in is a high-capacity horizontal-flow aluminum heat exchanger engineered for modern performance cooling systems. Designed for builders and tuners who demand reliable thermal management in forced-induction applications, this core intercepts hot compressed air from turbochargers or superchargers, dissipating heat before the charge enters the engine. The 22-inch length provides substantial cooling surface area, making it an ideal choice for street and track builds where consistent intake temperatures directly impact power delivery and engine reliability.

Constructed from premium aluminum with natural finish, this intercooler core features a time-tested tube-and-fin design that maximizes cooling efficiency without excessive pressure drop. The horizontal flow configuration allows flexible plumbing layouts and simplifies mounting in tight engine bays common to performance vehicles. At 22.05 lbs, the core remains lightweight while maintaining structural integrity under high boost pressures. Vibrant Performance's manufacturing process ensures consistent internal passageways and durability across thousands of thermal cycles—critical for vehicles operating at elevated boost levels or in high-ambient-temperature environments.

This intercooler core benefits engine tuners, drag racers, road racers, and serious street enthusiasts seeking measurable gains in boost stability and repeatable performance. Real-world results show intake temperature reductions of 20–40°F compared to smaller OEM cores, translating to denser air charge and safer ignition timing. Installation requires custom piping, tanks, and intake manifold work—this core is best suited for complete intercooler system builds rather than bolt-on applications. Verify fitment and plumbing requirements with your vehicle's chassis and turbo configuration before purchase to ensure compatibility with your cooling loop design.
