Classic, i think i might do an upgrade to my intake just like that, throttle response will be bad but think of the cool air

Civic maybe?

Erm...

I'd say someone probably did that as a joke.

No one is that stupid - unless ofcourse you couple that with DEI smile

iv talked to plenty of people who have argued with me an intercooler on a n/a will do something...

one of these is a 30yr old, intergra driving guy who loves his car and cars in general and is studying engineering at uni with me...

Has to be a photoshop, have a look at the pipe under the bonnet, and you'd have to be mad to take a photo of your car like that and show it to people.

I hate to break it to you guys....

There is a sad individual in Ballina with a Honda accord with this same setup.
So apparently the answer to your question Blaeven is yes, unfortunately they are.

On the other side though, I'd think the engine would have to work a bit harder to pull the air through the IC core...

I've seen worse than this though.

One early morning prior to departure from Windsor McDonalds on an Epic north bound cruise there was a very, very serious car accident involving a young male in a Suzuki Swift and a Four Wheel Drive.

The Swift had an intercooler sitting on the front with NOTHING plumbed to it. :secret:
