Hi,
'24 ST Looking into intercooler upgrades. Any thoughts on Steeda vs Livernois or others? I ran Livernois on my 3.5L EB F150 without any issues.

CV Fab is what a lot of ST owner's upgrade to - including myself for my 25' ST. Lower prices vs. others, lifetime warranty, great quality & performance.

Thank you. Great info. Any idea why installation time is different? Also, it's missing Livernois, which claims to be bigger than most of them. Not sure if that will affect engine cooling since its blocking more of the radiator. Thoughts?
This data seems pretty old and based on manufacturers install times. I’m not sure how long LMS has had their IC out in the wild. I feel they do a decent job testing and are pretty conservative from what I can tell. I would not be worried about over heating.

Anyone running livernois? They're claiming "High Flow design for reduced pressure drop compared to competitors". Also, currently at $699

Just pick one…you’re not gonna notice a bit of difference between them. And Steeda is identical to CVFab…that’s a hint.

Any intercooler except the eBay specials are going to perform the exact same. Pick whatever one is cheapest.

I went with the Steeda because I got it for $600. CV was what I was looking at until I found this one.
