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\u003chr style=\"margin: 20px 0; border: 0; border-top: 1px solid #000;\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Problem: The \"Traffic Jam\" effect\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\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\u003chr style=\"margin: 20px 0; border: 0; border-top: 1px solid #000;\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Solution: Verticooler Technology\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Verticooler system solves the heat soak issue by mounting the core at a \u003cstrong\u003e15-degree, near-vertical angle\u003c\/strong\u003e.
