Just a thought.
Thanks for sharing, did you get to fit one?

the MAD charge pipe and intercooler are currently our most popular combo.

the MAD charge pipe will work with all the intercoolers we offer except the Dinan one.

I knew I was only going Stage 1 93 Octane -- so went VRSF Charge Pipe & 5" HD Intercooler. The price was right and the Quality Acceptable.

I do like the ER Combo as well as Wagner. I would say MAD = VRSF.

MAD’s intercooler is a poor performer- it’s absolutely inferior to the VRSF AND BMS

Car is just stock now but I'm getting a BM3 tune soon so figured its best to get an upgraded CP along with that. More plans to come too, probably an intercooler
I went with VRSF on both the charge and boost pipe and I can't be happier with it. Super easy install, everything fit perfectly, and it is extremely high quality. Plus, Im not sure if its just wishful thinking, but I swear my turbo noises got better!
