Depends on your budget, VRSF cores are superior to ARM (not even close).

VRFS 7" is a great option to consider

Both use high quality cores, the HD is probably the best 7" intercooler on the market today

All depends from the application. Most info here unfortunately isn't completely accurate. Especially that oem connections leak at boost levels close to 20psi, that they are plastic, that charge pipes break at certain mileage and etc etc. So if you have mild tune, don't want or can't modify the turbo side connection, or the charge pipe, plans to revert back at some point to sell, want to DIY it instead of paying shop, why not go with ARM? Like with advertising in general, vendors here are pushing product customers not necessarily need. I run 5" ARM stepped on a semi dedicated track n54, mildly tuned, 13 or 15 psi depending on track mostly. Logs look ok. IAT ok as well. Oem charge pipe. Over 50 track days. I'm doing something wrong? No. Can it be better? Yes. But I'm not interested. I got what I wanted. This is like oh you need to buy Michelin tires and LiquiMoly oil because BMW. No, I can ran Falken and Panzoil. If I decide to go bigger and better I won't go VRSF out of two reasons: this sells guy is irritating and there are bigger and better options

Not to beat a dead horse but again, we have hundreds of reviews for our charge pipes that can attest to the quality & performance of our products. Keep in mind these are legitimate reviews backed by independent testers rather than hearsay

You haven't offended me, but don't act like your shit is spectacular either. If people want to think it is, that is fine, but that is only because they don't know any better. Going out of your way to constantly try and bash other products to push you own just looks bad. If your products are so perfect then they will speak for themselves. But I still see the occasional unsatisfied VSRF customer posting up so maybe focus on that and getting intercoolers shipped out in a reasonable time instead of feeding your hard on for other vendors.

Totally happy with my arm stepped intercooler. Easy install, and the color in person is awesome. The price and color is why I went with this one over others.

[N54Society]

That looks nice Allard6

You're all wrong, those aren't the best intercoolers. Only I know the real best...

[9krpmrx8]

Yes, the ones you sell and make a profit on.

[BM335M]

From my personal experience ARM Downpipes don't fit RHD models, the O2 bung is positioned wrong and they also touch the subframe. They are also too short and don't line up correctly with the rest of the exhaust system.

Changed to VRSF and no issues what so ever.

Yes, well of course. Why would we sell something we don't profit from though? LOL

Im using the same ARM 5' Stepped. It was my first mod. I did have to remove this plastic sleeve from the passenger side IC mount area. The lower edge slightly bulges downward maybe 3 mm but the undercovers still fit fine.

I have no issues with my 5" stepped ARM Motorsports FMIC. I've had it for 2 years. It keeps the IAT's down below 110 degrees F. Most of the time, I see them below 100. East install and it mounts using the OEM connectors. The connections are snug and tight.
