Default These are not IPP intercoolers. I haven't heard of anyone running these.

Anything that doesn't have a plastic end tank is better than stock IMHO. I will go with ERs when I am ready though.

Default More charge rows than the IPPs. The IPPs would be great if they used a core with more charge rows

per inch. It is a balance between more charge rows for more efficiency (and other factors), and pressure drop. The more rows per inch, the higher the pressure drop .The ERs seem to have the perfect balance between effenciency and pressure drop. Front mounts are really effective because the longer straight air passages and surface area.

Default I am kinda curious of how effective they are. They are probably better than stock, but not the best

option available. Maybe i'll run them so everyone can flame me for not following the status quo :^)

Default I'll take up that argument, why don't we first agree upon a definition for what

the 'scientific method' is, then we can debate whether that testing followed scientific procedures.

What's the definition of the scientific method?

I think the company that made IPP ICs was working on some RS4 look-alikes.

They are out already and it looks like they used the same crappy cores.
