Whipple vs Mishimoto intercooler comparison

[Bird Dog Off Road]

Charge air drop is not the only thing to look at in an intercooler.


When looking at intercoolers you need to factor 3 main things

Fit/Quality of the unit
Charge air temp average
Flow Rate of the intercooler.


Flow is just as important as cooling. Having the perfect balance will net you better results consistently and let your turbo work less to make the same power.


We will do a lot of this testing on our in house dyno as more options come out that we will carry. We currently have 4 we are looking to test. Our @Mishimoto unit just showed up to us last week while we were at SEMA and can not wait to get it on and start our testing!

I noticed you seel the CP-E ones as well. Curious how is compares to the Whipple and Mishimoto as well.

I can not say much on whipple as we have not had one in our hands but the Mishimoto and CPE are both excellent choices.

They are very similar. The main advantage of the CP-E in my opinion is the divider in the endtanks to make sure the core is getting even flow and helping with velocity which increases spool.

either way you can not go wrong and will be happy with both!

It connects to stock piping so as long as AFE matches stock then it will bolt right up!

Thank you

yes it is!

I dont think we have any 10% OFF codes currently.

5% Code in my sig works though

@Kfonte I am about to get into the fit of the Afe coupling and my Whipple intercooler. I called Afe and they said it should fit; I set up a ticket with Whipple asking the same question, I am waiting. Meantime did you resolve this or get a fix from Afe? Thanks.

They never fit properly and I unfortunately had to return the pipes. I was sent another set of couplings and they just couldn’t quite fit.

Should ship next week with no issues!

Thank you for your order

Any update on this?

Ive just ordered the CPE intercooler and planning to couple it with the afe charge pipes.

Looking forward to hearing some feedback on the fitment, quality and ofcourse performance gains?

Also, since we are on the topic, I'd like to know from the experts if it is okay for me to run the JB4 with the above setup.

Thanks.
