lol i should be a spokesman for blitz... i love their stuff... I would personally choose the Blitz... for the simple reason ive yet to hear a poor thing about their products, but on the other hand i have never heard anything negative about apexi either... hmmm well if you hunt around and the apexi is the better buy, i say rock it.... (whispers blitz into J2Z JC's ear)

Look at differences between tub/fin and bar/plate intercoolers and you'll find the answer to which one you want.

Those intercoolers are NOT the same at all.

Bar and plate is heavier, but has better flow and cooling.( and is about three hundred bucks more).

Not about any particular company but general IC knowledge.

Very good read.
