There are two major air-to-airintercooler design: "Bar and Plate" and "Tube and Fin". You can easily tell the difference by looking at the end tanks to view the design. You'll see that bar and plate also has fins inside tha bar in which charged air passes through, whereas tube and fin doesnt. Bar and plate has been proven to remove heat better due to its design. Remember the most of the cooling (heat transfer) occurs on the first 3-5 inches of the intercooler.
