why even black out an intercooler on an evo? making an evo a sleeper is like wiping before you poop, it makes no sense
Well, I have to disagree... When I'm on the street and I see another evo, the first thing I look at is the IC. That lets me know what I'm up against. If I see he has aftermarket IC he is probably hitting 350+ WHP. Same goes for other cars, specially STI's. I like the idea of having people think its stock and then blowing off their doors .

Same thing I do. But all the evo's and sti's around here are slow anyways, the civic's are the one to look out for

I'd like to see the difference in IAT's between a black colored intercooler and a plain intercooler.

Back to my post, in many small town areas and rural areas, people are more in tune with every trim level of a pontiac, than they are with something from across the pond. So on my black evo, with the blacked out FMIC, it draws zero attention, from both locals and cops, and that is the ultimate goal personally, to just fit in even if I know it is anything but another import 4 door sedan.
