    Default Stealth intercooler kits?

    Is it possible to get a more subtle front mount intercooler setup on a raptor ie. black piping and intercooler?
    Might make it a bit harder for the fun police to notice us.

    Oh ok, i wasn't sure if you could just paint intercoolers without losing some of their heat exchanging capabilities.

    Thanks for the info.

    I haven't noticed a difference in the temp. But I've heat insulated the cooler pipes as well.

    black is good for getting rid of heat thats why radiators were allways black and why most race engines are black

    Yeah come to think of it all those little phone transformers are black - purely because it disperses heat better.
    Best get myself a intercooler kit for my raptor then.
