Does anyone else have opinions from
their personal use of the XS Power and/or SSAC Intercooler setups ?
Does anyone know if the pipes included in this kit have issues with clearing the stock X-Brace ?
KO Racing uses an XS Power
core with upgraded pipes, and sell it as a kit. They also offer block off shrouds for the vent.

The use of this intercooler kit will greatly improve flow to the engine over the stock intercooler. The XS Power core has been dyno proven to flow better even than the Greddy core it was designed after. Upgrading the intercooler doesn't ususally increase power by itself, but will greatly improve the recovery rate and decrease the liklihood of heat soaking, and can improve the efficiency of the intake track when used in conjunction with other upgrades like larger turbochargers.
The pipes are heavy duty 16 gage 2.5" stainless steel pipes fully polished and TIG welded together by KO Racing with large beads rolled in the end to prevent blowing them off under boost. The clamps used are constant tension fully lined worm drive clamps made from stainless steel as well. These heavy duty clamps evenly clamps around their entire circumference and the spring packs on the adjustment screws maintain that tension through all temperature and pressure extremes.
The way these pipes are routed allows the use of the widely popular TRD strut tower brace, but does require the bracket holding the factory hot pipe to the cylinder head to be removed. The image above of this kit installed in the car shows a KO Racing hot pipe installed, but it is not included with the kit standard. If you would like the hot pipe as well, it is listed elsewhere in this section of our online catalog.
