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.

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
