Check all images for a size comparison between the Can Auto Heat Exchanger & the best-selling heat exchanger on the market, PLM's. The size difference is very significant! Maximize size, minimize heat soak - to maximize performance!
The Canadian Auto Performance Heat Exchanger for the Audi B8/B8.5 S4/S5 and C7/C7.5 A6/A7 is the intercooler upgrade your vehicle deserves and needs to properly cool down. Engineered and designed to maximize the space available on the front of the supercharged 3.0T, this heat exchanger upgrade significantly reduces intake air temperatures which is vital in maintaining performance.
Although stock Audi's with the 3.0T supercharged V6 have sufficient cooling with the stock intercooler/heat exchanger, once upgraded to Stage 1 or Stage 2 and beyond, a heat exchanger is a must to maintain performance and reliability.
Known for being able to double output in power (from stock applications of 333HP to modified applications of over 670HP), the Audi 3.0T supercharged V6 engine is truly a masterpiece. Its Achilles' heel is undoubtedly heat soak caused by high intake air temperatures. Cars without a heat exchanger on Stage 2 upgraded pulley setups quickly become slower than even stock cars without any modifications due to heat soak.Â
Upgrading your stock heat exchanger to the CAP all-aluminum heat exchanger will prevent the heat soak that kills performance from repeated pulls and even improves reliability. The oversized core is over 2.5x larger than the stock heat exchanger and maintains an efficient lightweight design, better than other heat exchangers available on the market.
Heat Exchanger comes with brackets. Please note one of the brackets may need to be modified for 4.0T usage on the Audi S6/S7.
If you choose to purchase the Fit Kit with, then the heat exchanger will come with a high-temperature hose and fittings needed for install.

Not too bad to install and I'm a total noob. Did the grille, brakes and rotors myself so this wasn't bad. Lined up the exchanger bracket to the top of the crash bar and fit perfect. Took a bit to figure the hoses but worked well. Used videos from Audi C7 owners YouTube channel which has very indepth installation series for heat exchanger. However no one has a vid up of CAP HE so I uploaded one. Great piece and can't wait to go dual pulley.
Fairly easy install, way bigger than the stock heat exchanger. Keeps the temps down very well. Would strongly recommend.
As advertised simple installed and necessary for tune.
From the installation to operation, this is fool proof and well worth the money. Great quality and very fast shipping as well
The quality of this product is incredible, and the shipping was really fast. The fit kit is also of great quality. It's exactly what my b8.5 s5 stage 1 needed. You can feel the difference immediately.
