For me, I wanted the sleeper appearance, so I went without the stencil. I think a lot of folks wanted the logo.

Either way, just make sure you order it today!

Sure! Just want to be able to say that, yeah ... it's all stock, and even came with that body color wrapped cf center-vent hood! (as std.)

Took around 3 hours. I was in no rush lol. Feels like it pulls harder. Could be in my head :/

Glad i can help. Grab it while its on sale!

Are you guys going to be doing intercooler piping also?

Received PRL Motorsport intercooler and came damaged. There is a huge dent at the top of the intercooler (about 1/2 inch) dent. Installed the intercooler and you can’t see the damage.

Mine had exactly the same, dent in the top right in the middle..

it needs better packaging. After installation you can’t see it. But it was a very bad dent i was heartbroken, it looks sooo good once the bumper is on tho!!!!

Yes. I was heartbroken too and thought I was the only one who received their intercooler damaged. And yes once installed, you can’t see the dent and looks beautiful with the PRL logo.

Why wouldn't you send it back? Clearly it's not your fault. And who knows what dents might do to the intercooler efficiency... I could be way off base but bends and kinks in the airflow will reduce efficiency.

And get a new one until april? Lol it won't do anything.

There is plenty of surface area on the intercooler. Even my installer said a dent like that would not affect efficiency or cooling. Airflow is very good.

Dropped in the K&N filter to go with the PRL IC and I am quite surprised how well the combo works together. Turn off the radio & it even swooshes on lift off from WOT.

If you drive on the highway (temps around 45) long enough for the IC to get chilled, it pulls so strong, smooth & consistently. This IC really is great.
