Intercooler... DSM or aftermarket..?

Intercooler... DSM or aftermarket..?
Just wanted to know what some of your opinions are on intercooler. Im trying to go for a nice cheap setup on a B16 and am boosting max of about 7-8psi on stock engine.
I was thinking of buying an intercooler and wanted to know whether I should go out and buy an aftermarket one (~$200-300) or just stick with the DSM side mount intercooler? Also would an aftermarket one be significantly better than the DSM SMIC for 7-8psi?
Thanks

if I was you I would go aftermarket, customcoach/tyrus, because in the long run you will get an aftermarket, get the best from the beginning, I know because I made lot of mistakes before I realized that. I went through stock intercoolers before I got a customcoach, the stock ones total adds up to be more than the cc, and also for newer civics the side mounts are a pain. long opinion? but thats my opinion.

if you have the greeny green green laying around.... go aftermarket.. if youre trying to be frugal like 99% of the people on here.. a $20 DSM side mount sure does sound good.... i know thats what i;m gonna use

I could have gotten the starion intercooler which prolly would have cost about $100 nowadays and the modify the ends. Since I can't weld **** and will probably get my @$$ gipped at the muffler shop, I'll probably spend like $150+ so I said screw that and bought one on Ebay for $235 shipped...

got it from a guy "issani"... supposedly its made of bar and plate and looks pretty nice even comes with lil tabs so I can just screw it on the existing bar... Figure its worth the convenience and hoping it would work nicely...
