does anyone sell a 4inch IC core?

He said ebay so I was assuming he had the shitty core like I did and not a "name" brand bar/plate like cx racing or treadstone and I use the word "name" brand very loosely. I clearly said shitty core and ebay in every single one of my posts and I also assumed he had a smaller core than 4" otherwise why would he be asking for another 4" core? I've explained all of this so again, I'm done with the pissing match for real.

I do currently have a 4 inch core and yes Im looking for another 4 inch core with the exact same dimension as the one thats currently on the car. The reason for this is that its a cheap ebay special and Ive read here on tech that they dont flow very well. I was thinking if I bought a better quality core it might fix my pressure loss I have now.

Buy a better core and enlarge the end tanks for better flow. The end tanks on the generic egay stuff are crap.
But there are literally dozens of different core designs

If you don't believe what others are telling you then call my buddy Marty @ irc fabrication (google) he has built lots of intercoolers for people here and built 1 for my gto and radiator for it. Now currently building one for my cts-v. Marty knows his **** and will tell you the truth. Tell him you talked to Tim from Houston.

See he has a bar plate CX type core like I was assuming
Not the really bad for flow tube and fin like nicd had
The CX cores are eBay to me. They are cheap
Waste of time and money to upgrade from that to a horizontal treastone

Are you ******* retarded?
And wonder why tech has such horrible advice given
NicD is not an idiot we are having a discussion, you are an idiot although
Ponder your dumbass post for a moment
Do you realize an engine is a positive displacement pump?
Flow volume is relatively fixed and tied to the motors, displacement, rpm, VE.
Ever heard of mass flow?
The mass flow varies through the charge pipes with different boost levels..... the flow volume does not
Air flow volume into the turbos will be similar between the two 1khp motors.... air flow volume through the charge pipes/intercooeler... ahhhhh no

Second of all, yes I admit I overlooked this fact and was thinking of naturally aspirated motors where mass at a given volume is dictated by atmospheric pressure.
