Default Which intercooler

I have just bought a 2019 F150 3.5 EB. I am interested in getting a bigger intercooler. There are alot of products, which is the best value. Is there anything else i might need.
Thank you

CVFab is probably the one i'll end up going with. They have two options, their newest one is designed with the factory style drain in it. I've heard good things about their product for the $.

I tried the Rev9...had reasonable reviews but for me it was junk. Fit was worse than I was expecting, hardware didn't fit, & BOV didn't fit right. I switched to the Mishimoto...very happy with it in all aspects.

+1 for mishi. I have two on my car and they are great, i would have to assume they are equally good on our trucks.

Best value is the one already installed on your truck.

Slapping a cheap IC on to replace the factory one on a stock truck is a waste of time at best, might even preform worse. You have to spend good money for a quality product, which on a stock truck isn’t going to make much of a difference in the overall performance of the vehicle.

The best value is the one that was engineered by the manufacturer and included on the vehicle when you bought it.

This isn’t 20 30 40 years ago where everything is just thrown together. There is so much engineering and technology that goes into the development and design of these parts from the air filter to the tailpipe.

Oh, so you're one of those "nothing is better than stock" guys. Got it. I can't begin to imagine how enjoyable this forum must be for you. Listen, I gotta run because I really need to go put some stuff on my truck that doesn't improve the overall performance whatsoever.

Well said. Just simple common sense.
