Thumbs up

I was skeptical when I first ordered one, as the price seems too good to be true, but I was impressed with the quality. Bob

its aluminum and air flowing through a core its not the most complicated thing. The welds look good overall quality is good. Its a universal intercooler that can fit almost any car with a little work. Basic principal one design that can fit any car so there profit per unit does not need to be that high if they sell them in large numbers(and at that cost im sure they move a lot of units). Not needing to mention cost of labor in other countries is like nothing.

I am impressed with the 3" ones I have used. One on a bagged ext cab fullsize with a procharger at 14psi IAT's rarely go over 120 degrees even in 85 degree weather
