I'm looking to swap my intercooler, and it seems that these are the two everyone seems to have either already installed, or are waiting to get. I've done some basic research and I'm about to pull the trigger, but would like to know any opinions when it comes to these two. I have a 2.3 auto, 2 door base, with SAS.
Mishimoto has an 77% increase in core volume to Whipple's 58%
Mishimoto has 175% increase in fin surface area to Whipple's 144%
Whipple's intercooler is 12% less restrictive to Mishimoto's 7%
Whipple has a up to 32deg F drop in discharge temp to Mishimoto's 21.2deg F (2.3L)
I could only find dyno from Whipple on a 2.7 from @LethalPerformance so I'm not sure the numbers for the 2.3, but Mishimoto claims 5.7 whp and 5.3 lb-ft torque on theirs.
Finally, at a price of $750 (Mishimoto) to $900 (Whipple), Mishimoto has the edge in price, but scouring the internet, I was able to find Whipple's at a reduced rate to make the price difference nominal.
Is there anything I'm missing? I feel the most important component here is the higher drop in discharge temperature from whipple, am I wrong? Like I said earlier, I'm about to pull the trigger on one or the other, but would like some opinions before I do.
