Question S/S Autochrome intercooler

Who has tried it? A while back there was a lot of talk about this and people said they would post results on there tests and findings. Any comments. It appears to be better than stock since mine is dinged up from every day driving. But I am no expert on this.

Who tested it? I like when people test the junk compared to the real deal, but only in unbiased tests.

It was tested by ourselves (ams) and AL from Dynoflash. we both recorded the same results. It is in no way shape or form as good as the AMS core that it is cloned after. on a simple stage one car we gained 10 AWHP just by slapping on the AMS core over the SS unit. AL tested it against a stock on and the SS autochrome piece LOST hp.

Thanks for the replies. I will be buying a AMS intercooler. The exhaust I bought from them was of exceptional quality. It holds true you get what you pay for.

cheap knock off of the real deal AMS, people never have the money or time to do it right the first time but they always have the money and time to do it right the second time.
