Default cooling plates

im embarking on the journey of cooling plate research.

I will be running my stock gutted intake with ct filter and was wondering the best cooling plate for the job.

I was interested in seibon cusco and alloycraft because they look great, fitmaent looks it too and they all have some sort of airflow to the stock intake box.

I want something that i dont have to cut my hood to be fully functional.

If anyone has one of these can you please send me a little review of yours and if anything was felt with the butt dyno lol. thanks

Also curious on cooling plate availability.

Question to JST2878 though.. Are you looking at an aluminum or a carbon fiber/kevlar one?

im not bias to either one. im sure the aluminum will act as a heat sink drawing heat away from radiator and engine bay. but ive been looking into either.

cusco and seibon have a nice airduct for the intake which steers my favortism to those two, but im still open to alloycraft as well.

But honestly aut is probly what you are looking for. I personaly dont like the aut cooling plate but everyone has there own style. Get what looks good to you because cooling plates don't really do anything but look good

I just stumbled upon Evasivemotorsport's website and they have a large selection of them. Carbign Craft has a CF one for 97 dollars.

You'd like the aut cooling plate for anything IMHO.ESP stock intake.is a cooling plate and air duct directly to your box or filter.win-win
