Oh, well, that is what this entire thread is about, the "70mm competition" one you ordered is the Magic/Majesty one the subject of this entire thread.
Actually i read almost all the thread everyone was talking about the bar and plate i didnt see them talk about the tube and fin thats why i asked thanks by the way budOh, well, that is what this entire thread is about, the "70mm competition" one you ordered is the Magic/Majesty one the subject of this entire thread.
And yeah, it performs really well, at the expense of a bit of fitment issues.
I saw a post somewhere that someone weighed it it was very close almost the same as wagner
But again, I see both a thinner model and the "70mm" one both listed and only the thinner one is advertised as fin and tube. So isn't the "70mm" the original bar and plate model discussed in this thread or is that one no longer available? Although identical in size to the original, is the "70mm" is now fin and tube now also or are there 3 Magic/Majesty options now? Just trying to figure this all out along with you apparently, lol... In any case, fin and tube is lighter and actually preferred by many, although it does heat up faster than bar and plate it does cool off faster as well. It was explained by intercooler manufacturers that bar and plate is actually much easier to make so the clones were originally mostly bar and plate but as time has gone on, fin and tube are more popular as the more intensive manufacturing of them has become cheaper/easier.
You can still find bar and plate majesty but not as much as tube and fin and the one i got is the same size as the wagner ic even the description says tube and fin competition u can also find tube and fin in smaller sizes but my biggest concern is if people recommend it if anyone has tried it every thread i read and every post people recommend majesty but i didnt see anyone that tried the competition at last i ordered and fingers crossed
Got ya, so there *are* 3 different versions out there, this I did not realize... I'm hopeful this newer (?) fin and tube version of the original works well and perhaps even fits better, so please let us know how it turns out, I'm looking for stock mount location upgrade by the summer.
Sure i'll update
Yeah you're right but what we're discussing is that there is different sizes and you can find bar and plate and tube and fin
They are two visible differences in how the core is constructed. In this post, I pasted some replies I got from manufacturers about the differences.
A lot of it comes from the old school knowledge of Tube and fin being better for Air to fluid cooling, and Bar and plate being better for Air to Air cooling. So your radiator and AC condensor will probably be tube and fin, as they have a liquid medium going through them to be cooled by air.
