I have the 3" for $175.00 shipped and the 4" for $225.00 shipped. (lower 48)

they are OBX type intercoolers. The 3" is good 600 - 700 and the 4" to 800
They have polished tanks and come with bungs welded on and extras along with bolts.

We've used both from TRT.The 3" we did 710rwhp-boost limited and we are at 820rwhp with the 4".The intake temps are way down.Maybe 40 degree's at most above ambient with 15psi =800hp/790tq after going through 5 gears on the highway (170mph)

That pic is from a setup im mimicking. Ive heard a 30x8x3.5 should do good enough for 4-500hp. heres the thread:

Im gonna try and PM him to see if theres any update. Im interested in IATs with that location. You just cut that rock shield hanging down where the 3 hangers are located on the IC. Then bolt it up. Heres his quote I may just buy the cheapy ebay piece just to get an idea...at $100+shipping its not too bad.
EDIT: just saw your other post so you know the one im talking about

when you will have front bumper with styrofoam out ,- its just so nice and easy, I drilled one hole upfront and have another 3 mounts on the other side(see on the pic). bolt that on and done.
