Default mishimoto vs cxracing intercooler

Hey guys

was going to buy an intercooler for my s475 build and was considering the cxracing 31x12x4 intercooler.

I started reading about the

Mishimoto MMINT-URB R Line Black Universal Intercooler

and its supposed to have better welds, have a lifetime warranty and comes in black.

Its a few bucks more.

Was wondering if anyone has used these mishimoto's and what kind of power they support

Worth buying over the CXRacing?

thanks!

i have the CX racing on my car. shop dyno with a fan blowing IAT's would only go to 127. 24.5lbs. ambient shop temp was 92. I also tested the pressure drop from one side to the other and it was only 3.5psi.

I have the big CX that you were talking about. I like it a lot so far, no problems. Its real nice stuff. I dont know about the mishimoto first hand. I hear they are pretty good as well.

I just measured my drop on the cx 30x12x4. On 17psi manifold it had 20.5 from the comp housing. Is that good? If I went with a more expensive ic would it be alot better?
