Default What do you think about this Intercooler for a WRX

It's an OBX but looks decent. Same size as the greddy and injen cores, but those 2 are about $900.

I want to get one I was going to make one, but I can't weld, and the price of the intercooler plus u bends would be about the same as this.

not bad. is that made just for the wrx? I've notice parts for those cars are exspensive sometimes.

Yes they are expensive. This one is just for the WRX but the same seller has OBX kits for different cars. I saw them for acuras and civic si. Also eclipses. I guess If I save about $400 on this I can always buy a better intercooler if this one doesn't flow right. Then sell the one on the kit and use the pipes.
I don't I think this will work fine. I might get it.

it looks good, pricey but hey, I guess that comes with the convience of a complete kit and it being a scooby.

well the cheapest kit is really $900, so I'm saving some money.

Yeah the bumper support needs to be cut, so It'll probably be a bitch to install

with everything else stock
it WILL lags like a bitch with a front mount.
if u have I/H/E, it lags even more.
(i`ve seen a few a drove a few)

if u can wait i can get u a upgrade top mount at a Guuuoooddd price
