About this product
RPM Big Core Intercooler
Keep your Can-Am X3 running at absolute peak horsepower even during hard dune runs, desert racing, and high-boost wide-open throttle pulls with the RPM SXS Big Core Intercooler Upgrade! While the 2020+ factory intercoolers are larger than early models, they still suffer from heat soak under aggressive tuning and hot ambient conditions. RPM's massive, oversized bar-and-plate core delivers a dramatic reduction in intake air temperatures (IATs)—dropping temps by up to 40°F in brutal desert testing.
Featuring a gigantic 12" x 11" x 4" high-density bar-and-plate core, this drop-in replacement stays cool far longer than stock, keeping your engine out of knock/detonation trim and allowing your tune to hold maximum timing and boost safely on 91 oct. For 120HP non-intercooled base model owners jumping to 195+ HP tunes, this intercooler is an essential foundation for reliable power. Designed to bolt right into factory locations, it utilizes your stock fan/shroud assembly or upgrades seamlessly to our RPM Brushless Fan for ultimate thermal management.
