Talking *NEW PRODUCT* MAD Intercooler & Charge Pipe W/ Install Video

In this video, the stock intercooler and FTP charge pipe were replaced by the MAD FMIC 5" & CP



Upgrade from your stock intercooler to the MAD stepped core intercooler for maximum performance and reliability!

The stock BMW intercooler is small, inefficient, and cannot keep up with the high boost that your tuned car targets. MAD BMW 5” intercooler will keep the intake air temperature in check, allowing your BMW to perform at its best at all times.

The MAD F chassis BMW 5” intercooler uses a high fin density core for maximum cooling. It also features a stepped core design to maximize the cooling area. Weighing 22lbs only with dimensions of 21"x8.5"x5", It provides the perfect cooling solution for stage 1 applications.

This intercooler is compatible with stock and aftermarket charge pipes.

Features:
  • Direct stock replacement, no cutting required
  • High-quality stepped core
  • Lifetime warranty on defects and fitment
  • Spot on fitment
  • Fits rear-wheel-drive & X-drive models


Fitment:
  • M135
  • 228
  • M235
  • M2
  • F chassis 328
  • F chassis 335
  • 428
  • 435

SKU:
MAD-010






Upgrade from the stock BMW N55 charge pipe to the MAD N55 charge pipe for maximum airflow and reliability!

The stock BMW N55 charge pipe is plastic and prone to failure. It's only a matter of time before the charge pipe to break. The MAD N55 charge pipe is a strong aluminum piece; it will provide better airflow and won't fail, and fits like stock.

The MAD charge pipe retains the BMW C-clip and O-ring for the best fitment. Do not forget to move them from the stock charge pipe to the MAD option.

The MAD charge pipe comes with two meth bungs; both bungs are sealed. If you do not intend to use methanol injection, keep them closed.

Features:
  • Better airflow
  • More robust material (aluminum vs. plastic)
  • Two meth bungs
  • Lifetime warranty on defects and fitment
  • Spot on fitment



Fitment:

Fits Rear-wheel drive vehicles only.
  • 2012-2015 135i
  • 2014-2016 M235
  • 2016-2018 M2
  • 2012-2015 335i
  • 2014-2016 435i




SKU:
MAD-017

MAD N55 charge pipe vs FTP
(nothing was wrong with FTP, we replaced it with MAD because we wanted to confirm fitment on the car that's all)

Is there any difference in the intercooler compared to the Gplus units on ebay\amazon? Fin density looks identical, welds look identical, overall shape\form is identical too, and shipping weight is shown as 23lbs, which is the same as the Gplus.

Hi,
the shape/design is used by a large number of companies, in all fairness, Wagner was the first one to do it.
The 23lbs is what I estimated the weight to be.

As far as I know, this intercooler has nothing in common with Gplus other than looking similar which applies to a number of intercoolers from different brands. the manufacturer is different, the fin density is different as well.
