thanks Bart

yea the Werks mounts right to the factory mounting bracket. i'd highly suggest taking off the bumper, makes installation soooooo much easier.

 

Thanks guys, I wanted the werks, but they said it will be three weeks until they can ship me one. Dejon had one left in stock for the same $, and my car needs fixed, so I ordered from them. They seem similiar so I don't think I will regret buying it. Since it needs one it would be a shame to buy a new stocker to put on.

 

Ya know in a pinch, you can use some 3" rubber hosing to limp you through till the new IC arrives, or jb weld the cracks with a little fiberglass cloth on top. Not the best and certainly no cooling, but its better than 0 pressure, and no wheels $.02

 

Your question on if upgrading the intercooler is worth it? I would say, if your boost is stock, no. My '10 HHS SS has the digital temperature guage that shows the actual air temperature going into the engine after the intercooler. Running 19 psi on the stock intercooler, the temps would rise 30+ degrees. I changed to a Hahn intercooler and with running 22psi, the temps stay within 15 degrees of ambient! The biggest improvement is in warm weather.

 

Dejon intercooler pics!

From what I have read, Dejon, Werks, and Hahn are the only ones that mount just like the factory one. You have seen the Werks pics posted in this thread, so here is the Dejon...

 

Here is a pic of the stock one for comparison.

 

Or you can go insane big like I did with SSA:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

Will Sam now I know who to call when I install my Depo's
