Do you think the CSF Intercooler would be a good addition to a stage 2 VF HEX tune with FabSpeed SportCat Downpipe?

Radiator only comes in our mirror polished finish.
- BTW - if it's a problem for you, it's completely hidden once it's installed.

That's exactly the setup I will have plus charge pipes once the CSF intercooler comes in. I currently have the Fabspeed sport cat and stage 1 Hex tune.

Do you think the charge pipe would be worthwhile?

From what I have read, when you increase boost it's a good idea to change out the charge pipes since stock ones may fail. So I figured it was a good idea since they are relatively cheap and easy to do when installing the intercooler.

How do you like that setup? I think that is the exact setup I will be running.
Thanks

Core density is similar to VRSF HD, Wagner & ER

Wagner is going to be the lightest one .. CSF is second

As CSF said most of the first batch has been spoken for already
Are you drop-shipping from CSF? if so, can i just order thru you and pick up from their will-call since they're in my neck of the woods?

Any of the aftermarket charge pipe should work.
Most popular charge pipe for us is the active autowerke
Second choice would be VRSF

Since intercooler is not available yet, yes we will be drop shipping the first batch.
But we are looking to have the CSF intercooler available in our las vegas warehouse in the future.

I do not see a problem with you placing the order with us and picking it up direct from CSF once it is available.

I'll start out by saying that I have never had my car dynoed, but it definitely feels a lot faster.

The traction control goes off in 3rd gear and I never had that happen when the car was stock or even with the sport cat. I'm really excited to see what stage 2 will be like.
