Yep, we were, and now they've come over to our bar and plate design. It's looking more and more like the Helix intercooler. As long as they're selling them out of Europe, there's not a lot we can do about it, I think. I'll have to check on that.

In the mean time, we'll keep innovating, like using the bull-nosed bars, both on the face and in the core to optimize flow and reduce pressure drop. We can also thermal coat the coolers. There's a GB going on at E90post for those in the market.
