The factory intercooler is prone to heat soak and power loss under high load. The AMS Performance Front Mount Intercooler addresses this with a larger, more efficient core that keeps intake temperatures lower and performance higher under stress.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis upgrade is ideal for tuned, daily-driven, or high-performance vehicles that demand consistent cooling and elevated power delivery during aggressive driving and track use.
