Default For those that have purchased the OBX FMIC.

Ive noticed a couple people selling them on Ebay.... who, what seller, did you buy yours from? How long did it take to get?

I want to make sure I get it from a reputable seller, ordering this week.

THANKS!

jstonestang (Tons of great feedback, super fast shipper)

I got mine for $270 to my door. Really nice piece, good quality as far as appearance and materials go but I have yet to try it out due to the hellish onset of winter in MI

There are usually some on there. I paid $310.00 shipped. Shipping was slow. I paid on the 24th and got the IC on the 6th.

I did talk to him and he swayed me to ebay for some reason... I actually tried to call him last night to see if I could order through him regardless, Id rather through him then ebay.

Ill probably be hitting you up for piping..... I was going to attempt to make them myself but may just have you or someone else do it.

Thanks Rick

I didn't see your call bro. I was so hyped up to get my new game that I left my phone in the car. LOL

I can order you one but you know Rob. He has to make liek $20 on it so it would push up the price because of tax. I'm just know getting to where he will let me give Rick better deals.

Hey that's a good price on that Intercooler. Does it fit the 98 + Camaro pretty good? Any problems with this intercooler?

I found a couple in his auctions.... you have to look back a few pages... although it isnt the OBX IC. Some other off brand, not sure if it matters.

Mine doesnt say OBX on it either but they all come from the same factory in china. Same 3 inch bar & plate core, same cast end tanks , same welds, same bolt bosses. Companys buy them and then slap thier brand on them. These arent Griffin but you do get value for the money. A domestic intercooler that size would be $550 to $700 + shipping.

Ok, that helps! I was searching for "OBX" and didn't get any hits, so that's as far as I went... Went back and searched for "intercooler" and found it.

If the demensions are the same, it wil fit fine. overall, 31x11x3 thereabouts; end tank to end tank. 3" openings which need to be at the bottom, not in the middle.
