Seen this when I was browsing their web site. Think it would actually work?

 

Calculate the surface area of your intercooler. then add the surface area of this pipe. you wont be adding 1% surface area

 

But it will add 500% more sharp edges to cut yourself on.

 

 

haha, very true..... Hell I've already cut myself so many times under that car... Allot of sharp s**t down there already...

 

It's a gimmic.
"... There aren't any cooling fins on the inside of the pipe to create drag or turbulence..."
That also means there is nothing inside to absorb heat. Charge air is going to just pass right through. Even if there was some heat exchange going on, where is it going to go? Do you really want to set up some kind of ducting system to have cool air pass over your super duper coolong pipes?
Gimmic.

 

What a joke. If you just think how quickly the air will be moving it would have only a fraction of time to even transfer any heat. I would like to see some actual testing of pre and post temps of that "cooling pipe". If anything it may be just be more mass to hold heat.
