With 58% more internal core volume, 144% more external fin surface area, and 12% less restriction than the factory intercooler, the Mega Cooler is built to support everything from daily driving and towing to aggressive off-road useall while remaining CARB certified and 50-state legal.
Performance Highlights
- Up to 32°F reduction in intake air temperatures versus stock
- 58% greater internal core volume for higher thermal capacity
- 144% increase in external fin surface area
- 12% less airflow restriction than the OEM intercooler
- Improved spark advance and more consistent power output
Heavy-Duty Bar-and-Plate Construction
The Whipple Mega Cooler uses a TIG-welded bar-and-plate intercooler core with offset fin design on both the hot and cold sides. This construction maximizes heat transfer while maintaining durability for harsh off-road environments. Compared to the factory tube-and-fin design, the Mega Cooler resists heat soak far more effectively during repeated pulls, trail crawling, or sustained highway driving.
Dyno testing shows intake air temperature drops of up to 32°F during back-to-back runs, with even greater improvements observed during real-world driving where airflow demand is continuous.
Adaptive Cruise Compatible, Bolt-On Design
Each Mega Cooler kit includes a factory-style Adaptive Cruise Control relocation bracket and air duct, ensuring full compatibility with Bronco safety systems. Installation is completely bolt-on with no cutting, trimming, or permanent vehicle modifications required, making it ideal for garage installs or professional shops alike.
