With this new kit, we learned that a lot of our customers are concerned about losing the factory crash bar and so we decided to use a pair of smaller cores to give great performance while keeping the car safer. That said, we can certainly offer the different piping and smaller cores with our Garrett turbo kits. As a side note, our Garrett kit uses a 1000hp rated intercooler core while our TD05 kits use a pair of cores rated at 850hp combined. While this might sound like a disadvantage, the 20G's (biggest in our upcoming lineup) are barely capable of pushing the limit of the intercooler setup on a built motor. Therefore, if you are limiting your power level to what the stock engine can handle, the smaller cores are plenty sufficient for that and allow the crash bar to remain. Also, we designed two different twin intercoolers for one very important reason. On the 370Z, the hood latch supports are a very important part of the front end structure to keep the latch located correctly and secure the hood. The G37, however, uses a different setup altogether and doesn't have auxiliary hood latch supports. That allows us to use a taller core on the G37 than the 370Z, which is fine because the G is a heavier car and puts more load on the engine and ancillary parts. In addition, these intercooler cores will be featured on our Twin Supercharger Kits.
