By rethinking the mounting angle and airflow path, the Verticooler delivers a level of cooling efficiency and engine durability previously unseen in the Subaru aftermarket.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"2\"\u003eThe Problem: The \"Traffic Jam\" effect\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"3\"\u003eStock top-mount intercoolers (TMIC) suffer from a lack of exit airflow. Computer modeling shows that once air passes through a factory-style core, it hits the engine block and creates a \"traffic jam\" of hot air. This trapped heat leads to rapid heat soak, significantly reducing performance during spirited driving.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"4\"\u003eThe Solution: Verticooler Technology\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5\"\u003eThe Verticooler system solves the heat soak issue by mounting the core at a \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"5\" data-index-in-node=\"76\"\u003e15-degree, near-vertical angle\u003c\/b\u003e.
