Is this an aftermarket intercooler?

[KrayZJay]

How’s everyone doing? I bought my 2018 Fiesta ST a month ago and this is the best car I’ve ever owned hands down. It came with some mods and I’m pretty sure it was set up for stage 2 when it comes to Dizzy’s sheet on his website. I noticed a suction ring on the front window so it caused me to further investigate. After a month of researching what’s on the car, I’m pretty sure the intercooler is aftermarket. The intercooler itself is black but the welds chipped and I don’t think it looks like the stock one online. Does anyone know if this would be an upgraded intercooler? It also has a Peron High Flow Intake, whoosh induction hose, crossover pipe with heat tape, RMM, BOV and I need to check the spark plugs. I ordered a COBB with Dizzy tune stage two and need to know about the intercooler and I would appreciate the help if someone can identify it as an upgraded intercooler of any sort. Thank you.

Definitely not stock if you can get a pic from behind by crawling underneath it'll be easier to identify. Specifically looking for the ends. Needles to say it's definitely not stock so it is upgraded and you can let your tuner know

Thanks man, I appreciate it. I will eventually get under it to take a closer look.

Yeah factory uses plastic end tanks and they're crimped on.... You should post the full engine bay, there might be other goodies hiding

I would get rid of that symposer, it should sound better with that aftermarket crossover and intake... Does it have an aftermarket exhaust?

No it doesn’t. This is all I found so far. I’m going to check the spark plugs. I think the previous owner might have done a stage 2 to dizzy standard.

When you get under it to look at the end tanks, take a gander at the exhaust, it's real common to remove the resonator..

I have mine removed and it's almost indistinguishable from stock sounding but the symposer will make it sound worse in the cabin
