Excessive heat-soak increases the risk of detonation and causes major power-loss due to high charge air and cylinder temperatures. These issues become even more prevalent with spirited driving and\/or increased power outputs. The PRL Motorsports intercooler upgrade decreases charge air temperatures while increasing potential airflow with its dense 25.5 x 3.0 x 9.75\" 550+ horsepower rated bar-and-plate core. Our intercooler core which increases internal flow by 83% to allow optimal cooling and airflow. This intercooler utilizes factory mounting spots with cast aluminum end tanks as well as all factory air ducts\/shrouds. To maintain consistency with most of our PRL product line, no cutting, fitting or trimming is required. Kits will come with all hardware needed for a seamless install.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlease Note: \u003c\/strong\u003e2021+ RDX 2.0T REQUIRES \u003ca href=\"\/products\/prl-intercooler-install-kit-2021-acura-rdx-2-0t-prl-ardx3-20t-ic-out\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eINTERCOOLER INSTALL KIT\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesigned specifically for the 3rd Gen Acura RDX chassis!\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo ECU Calibration Required\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDense 25.5 x 3.0 x 9.75\" 550+ horsepower rated bar-and-plate core\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBenefits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMid-range \u0026amp; top-end power gains\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMajor drop in post charge air temperature at peak\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncreased efficiency \u0026amp; consistency in power delivery\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncreased engine safety\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"newdescrLC\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eApplications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFits 2019-2020 Acura RDX 2.0T\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFits 2021+ RDX 2.0T with Minor Modification REQUIRES \u003ca href=\"\/products\/prl-intercooler-install-kit-2021-acura-rdx-2-0t-prl-ardx3-20t-ic-out\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eINTERCOOLER INSTALL KIT\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFits all variant models including 10AT, 6MT, RHD, International Models, Etc.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's In The Box?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e(1) Intercooler Assembly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e(1) Cardboard Stencil w\/ “PRL” Logo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e(1) Buna O-Ring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e(1) 304 Stainless Worm Clamp\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eReferences\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0890\/6136\/files\/PRL-ARDX3-IC-RDX_Intercooler_Install-Guide_V4.pdf?v=1752090223\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eInstallation Instructions\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntercooler Torque Spec: 18 ft\/lb\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"clear\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"PRL Motorsports","offers":[{"title":"Raw Aluminum","offer_id":53102870462784,"sku":"PRL PRL-ARDX3-IC","price":215.7,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black","offer_id":53102870495552,"sku":"PRL PRL-ARDX3-IC-BLK","price":215.7,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0996\/1137\/7984\/files\/g49bbemrvcfi_10ec3b49-c781-43b7-9a78-c9a805a31c4d.jpg?v=1788536387","url":"https:\/\/maperformances.com\/products\/prl-motorsports-intercooler-upgrade-2019-acura-rdx-2-0t-fhd1qh","provider":"Maperformance","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
