You can't decipitate heat. You can however cool the intake charge through heat exchange. Decipitate means to have the clouds do the opposite of precipitate, which would literally mean to suck rain water back up into the clouds.. And if AMS's intercooler could do that, I'm f*cking sold. But yes, naturally i'm partial to the AMS design because we aren't running 600hp monsters(yet), it 'appears' to be fairly lightweight, not overkill, this aids in efficiency not just on a cooling level but also in the fitment/overall effectiveness department. I personally beleive them to have more well thought out end tanks than others. However, depending on real life data, as well as your future upgrade path, that is still yet to be determined by time and testing.
