Default Vibrant Intercooler Opinions please.

Been waiting on Treadstone to run production on a Intercooler to fit my Mustang for a good while. Now I have found a company who build coolers for Vibrant that says they can build me what I am looking for. Does anyone have any insight or opinions on the Vibrant Cooler cores?
Thanks, Mark

I spent a fair bit of time researching through the various intercooler core manufacturers and all the name brands, Treadstone, Vibrant, Ace Race, etc. are all pretty much the same quality. I went with an Ace race core and you couldn't tell the difference between the Vibrant cores without a label.

I appreciate the input. I figure I have waited this long, I think I will wait another 2 weeks and hope Treadstone will start production on the 9" core they have for the Mustang. They have a smaller one available (they build 2 cores for the Foxbody), but I am thinking for the $100.00 difference for the larger one.

Quick question on the intercooler.
What part number are you looking for?
And is this for a Fox body mustang?
