Default Help with Intercooler

I'm tryin to find an intercooler but dont feel like spending a grand. I've seen the ones on ebay (obx I think) but I dont know how reputable they are. What I/C are you guys using and what price is reasonable?

There have been good results reported from the Ebay units. You just have to work a bit harder to get the pipes correct. Your choice.

I haven't actually put my eBay FMIC to use yet, but it fits great and the inlets/outlets line up almost perfect for my setup (Procharger).

I went with the 31x12x4 one. Figured there's no sense in buying the 3" thick one when the 4" one fits just as easy and is like the same price. I think I paid $150-160 shipped.

Mine is an OBX. So far so good. I have been running mine since 2006.

You need to talk to VS Racing. They have very reasonably priced IC's that flow around 1400 cfm.
