no improved air flow and a larger (i think 10% larger) ic negate the needs for the spray, sad day.

Well, I don't think that the IC spray does anything significant. It just sounds good.

I think it works well when you are sitting in traffic and getting lots of heat soak otherwise I don't imagine it helping much.

My IC switch is now spraying my windshield as my windshield tank is now for 50/50 meth/water

IC sprayer makes worlds of difference if you actually use your car.

I think it's really made a difference, especially on hard runs (on private roads, in front of schools), and the track

nice.

Driving a wrx, I never had the IC spray so I guess I won't care =]. One less fluid to keep in check.

^^ Tell me about it... I forgot to remove the water from the IC spray tank and it is now frozen. When I hit the brakes, the ice goes *clank, clank*. I hope the pump won't get destroyed...

Worried about it freezing? You'd be better off with pure water, or just enough alcohol to keep it from freezing.

^^ I am using pure water but no alcohol. I think alcohol will fade the STi letters off the IC over time.

Agree^^....I can always repaint if necessary....alcohol prevents freezing and has a good cooling effect (evaporation) ...the alcohol "itself" is a 50% variety..not the 70-90-or 100% type. The smell is clean too!

Alcohol will help with the freezing, but it will hurt the cooling affect, not help it.
