Yeah, just chop it down the middle (thickness) first, then turn one end tank 180deg. so air goes thru it, and go for it.

The whole concept of air to air intercooling is surface area to expose to wind chill. Making your intercooler thicker follows the same logic as installing it sideways or on your rear bumper or something.

ahhh well not exactly the i/c is effectively a heat sink so the more metal it has the more heat it can absorb from the charge air and the longer it will take to heatsoak plus the air will travel thru the core
