Because the walls of these tubes are thinner than those found in a bar and plate core, heat moves out of the charge air and into the surrounding air stream more quickly. This design allows the intercooler to shed heat at higher vehicle speeds with less thermal mass to overcome. The reduced weight improves responsiveness while the efficient tube structure supports strong heat transfer over extended sessions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"913\" data-end=\"1159\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"913\" data-end=\"929\"\u003eBottom line:\u003c\/strong\u003e For extended track sessions or sustained spirited driving, this intercooler provides the most stable, consistent cooling performance in our lineup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1161\" data-end=\"1361\"\u003eTo see the full comparison between this unit, the OEM core, and their bar-and-plate intercooler, you can view their complete testing breakdown on the\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/prlmotorsports.com\/blogs\/news\/prls-fl5-intercooler-testing-tube-and-fin-vs-bar-and-plate-vs-oem\"\u003ePRL Tech Blog.\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQuick Specs\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCore size\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e7.25\" tall x 4.25\" thick x 28.2\" long\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTotal intercooler assembly weight \u003cstrong\u003e14.4 pounds\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBillet \u003cstrong\u003e6061\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ealuminum\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eend tanks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOEM style sealing with custom EPDM O-rings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFitments\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFL5 Civic Type-R (2023-2025)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDE5 Integra Type-S (2024-2026*)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cem\u003e*(2026 Fitment has yet to be formally tested)\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIncluded in the Box\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntercooler assembly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2x custom EPDM O-rings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRubber edge guard for bumper to intercooler sealing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4x M8 socket head screws\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"PRL motorsports","offers":[{"title":"Silver","offer_id":51400472985888,"sku":"PRL.1016.1.0","price":999.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black","offer_id":51400473018656,"sku":"PRL.1016.1.BLK","price":1149.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0795\/6883\/0752\/files\/Screenshot2025-12-11at1.12.40PM.png?v=1765483964","url":"https:\/\/axionperformanceparts.com\/products\/prl-tube-and-fin-intercooler-upgrade-1","provider":"Axion Performance Parts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
