MY intercooler is coming from Stenod Performance and is a Belle Core that is 24"X12"X4.5"..... then you add the end tanks...... i should have pics of it here soon. Alot of people will do it..... its just that its going to cost $$$ thats what holds alot of people up.

I know that Phamspeed had said once that they could build custom intercoolers, but it seems they are MIA at the moment.

We here at Grifffin can do custom's all day long. Just send us something to work off of. Max dimensions, inlet/outlet sizes and positions etc. Where ever you go just make sure that you go with someone who can back the product up incase the unit is not made correctly or has a failure in its construction.

Bell Intercooler's pricing is very competitive with pricing from Spearco and the other places. The real cost differences will be in the tanks and welding. Some do sheet metal tanks. Others do them out of billet or cast. Just depends on what you need.

Nice..... I'm more interested in just the core and maybe the tanks... I plan on having the fabrication done independently.

Griffin is competitive on standard items that already have a design. Of course many people want the same thing only different thats where the cost goes up. We can also sell the cores as well.

ATI has always sold that sheetmetal frontmount, but I know at least one person who not only maxed it out pretty fast, but he was blowing the welds apart. Not impressive for a part that was retailing for just under $1,000.

I run a Griffin FMIC.
