Default Those with the OBX intercooler...

How are you liking them? Im going to be joining the ranks of the FI crowd, but I have the TTi 1500cfm intercooler, but I dont care for the placement the TTi puts it. Im thinking of getting the OBX and making a true front mount.

Anyone got a specific part number or link to the one that fits our cars?

there are 4" ones there, just seen a couple a few minutes ago.. May not be 'buy it now' though..

Heres one, item #8056154833 just so you know what to look for.

I think a couple sponsors may carry them also if you want to eliminate the sometimes painful eBay buying experience

XOXOX, YONKA etc and OBX are all the same



SSAUTCHROME is the same IC 2


And they all are awsome and are a big hit in the import side, most people wont touch OBX or SS etc but the intercoolers are great. They must buy them from another make and relabel them..

They are a big hit for the domestic market too, a ton of us have great luck with these IC's.

I'm on my second one Had a 3 incher, sold that off with the procharger kit, went with the 4 incher for my turbo set up.

For the price you can't beat em

Looks killer! Whats the advantage of a 4" over a 3"? Is it just surface area?
