I actually work closely with Alcoa and several other metal suppliers. We manufacture industrial insulation systems with aluminum and stainless jacketing…and I have to have all metals PMI tested by a 3rd party inspector so yea…I know a thing or 2.
I don’t personally know who casts Whipples end tanks or what core they use…But I’d venture a guess that neither do you. I do know that their welds are actually professional looking.
And yes…the Ultimate parts look like a kid welded them. Sorry if you don’t like my opinion…but you’ll live. Oh…and the Whipple doesn’t cover the entire radiator…not even close.

It’s really a great fit it doesn’t cover the radiator like whipple so even a bigger plus! 
I would not recommend Chinese manufacturers steel compared to US, CAD, EURO steel. Just take a magnet to real stainless ss and it won’t stick but most Chinese ss does have a magnetic conduction 9/10 times.

the beads look better quality than a micro bead weld on whipple. It coves just about 70% of the radiator and the Ultimate covers less that 50% so the radiator would still have enough air flow to operate without having increasing temps.
It has a garret core is high quality far from any quick manufacture Chinese intercooler.
So you still deal with Chinese stamped aluminum? Or you buy US aluminum?
why wouldn’t you advice a customer on here about the issues of Chinese aluminum vs US aluminum??
Are you sponsoring whipple due to deals made with them when a group purchase happen?

The radiator coverage of the Whipple has zero effect on coolant temp…even for those of us that have seen 160+ pulls and tons of racing on 100+ degree days. In fact you won’t find a single incident of the Whipple causing any cooling issues…because it doesn’t exist. You’re just pulling shit outta thin air because you like this other cooler. It’s also the most proven IC on the market for these things and is in use on literally every one of the fastest ST’s out there. From what I’ve seen the Ultimate doesn’t perform any better and costs the same. I’d go with the proven option.
Your other comments are about as off base as your exhaust comments. lol

Here is one fast Explorer. It is running a Whipple intercooler. https://www.fordmuscle.com/features...kis-exceptionally-fast-10-second-explorer-st/
@Dale5403 Maybe you can move your post #15 to a new thread. I think many of us would like to discuss that build outside of just Whipple intercooler info. As for the OP, it's probably doubtful you'll find someone who has an intercooler just sitting around gathering dust and it's too bad your thread got sidetracked.
