In a recent post, ProChargerโs Director of Social Media, announced a new Stage 2 intercooler option for the S650 Mustang. Based on the images shared, the new configuration appears notably similar to the dual-pipe intercooler inlet design that has been standard on Hellionโs S650 Mustang and Dark Horse systems for more than two years.
Hellion owner John Urist and S650 platform architect Hoyt Dutton developed this dual-inlet configuration as the next evolution in intercooler airflow, packaging, and performance for the platform.
They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, so we appreciate the recognition of a design direction Hellion established early. The difference is simple: at Hellion, this configuration is not a Stage 2 upgradeโit comes standard.
More importantly, the adoption of a similar configuration reinforces what Hellion has demonstrated for decades: intelligent airflow design is not limited to one component. It is engineered into the entire turbo system. From intercooler routing and charge-pipe geometry to turbocharger selection, exhaust flow, packaging, and overall system efficiency, every part is designed to work together as a complete performance solution.
Hellion does not simply assemble a collection of parts. We engineer fully integrated turbo systems around airflow, efficiency, reliability, and real-world performance. Our piping design is only one example of that philosophy. Our turbochargers, intercoolers, exhaust components, and complete system configurations are developed to deliver the performance and quality our customers expect from one of the industryโs most experienced turbo-system manufacturers.
When another company moves toward a design Hellion introduced years earlier, it does more than validate a single componentโit confirms the engineering direction behind the entire system.
Hellion continues to lead the industry in turbo-system airflow design. We do not follow trends. We establish the standard.
