I heard bad things. What is really wrong with it???


Your Garage is not worthy
For the Masterpiece you built
That only looks like it cost a Fortune
While most flaunt their cars by going fast
You show off Standing Still

Nothing really.. it's a good core, just not good endtanks. it's not the not efficient design, but it does its job well. I've never had any complaint about it other than the endtanks.

The endtanks aren't that efficient like he said. Just look at the design and imagine the flow.

not even necessarily bigger - just better laid out. Instead of sharp angles and hard 90* turns, think of smooth transitions. Airflow does not like rapid direction changes.
