CSF Front Mount Intercooler

The Cobb Tuning CSF N54/N55 Front Mount Intercooler is engineered to significantly enhance the cooling performance of your BMW's N54 or N55 engine. This intercooler utilizes a stepped core, bar/plate design for maximum surface area and internal airflow volume. It is available in a brilliant silver finish and features CNC-machined OEM-style quick-connect fittings for straightforward installation. Designed as a direct "drop-in fit," this intercooler requires no vehicle modifications and can be easily installed. Its construction incorporates 3D scanning and rapid prototyping to ensure precise fitment and optimal utilization of space, making it the largest "drop-in fit" intercooler available for these applications. The rounded front face bar/plate design is optimized for airflow through the core, and the entire unit is fully reversible back to OEM specifications. Performance testing in CSF's in-house wind tunnel and on the vehicle demonstrates a substantial improvement, with approximately a 40°F drop in intake air temperatures compared to the OEM intercooler after multiple repeated runs. This enhanced cooling efficiency translates to significant power gains, with an estimated increase of 15-20 hp on stock cars and over 25 hp on modified vehicles. The intercooler is capable of handling up to 1000hp and is compatible with COBB Off The Shelf maps, providing a direct performance upgrade for enthusiasts. This intercooler is 50 State Legal, holding a California Air Resources Board (CARB) Executive Order (EO) number D-660-78. It is backed by a lifetime warranty.
