I got an email back from the seller, he wanted me to take a picture of it because he didn't believe me.

lol

I don't see how someone could possibly think that the intercooler which was advertized is the same intercooler that I recieved?

I really hope he switches this one out for the one that I originally wanted. I really don't want to have to hack up my bumper support.

I had that happen to me. I sold it locally and bought one from Just-intercoolers. on Ebay. I got exactly what was advertised.

When it comes to cooler and "mid to high" range power levels be aware that cast end tanks like the ones in the pics WILL heat soak.
IOW....you win som u lose some..

However...the china era cooler elements tho..are actually fairly good.(bar ones that is)

I agree, unless you want make more that 300hp, that intercooler should do the job just fine....and, like you said, what can you expact for 85 bucks...

I say suck it up and do the bumper modification. Like you said, your engine is almost stock, i say keep it. Its not like you are going to be making any outrageous power.

^^as far as i know tube and fin is for high hp applications since they dont get heat soaked as easily, like i said in the earlier post i would just use it, leave negative feedback for the seller and hit me up when you decide to do the install...im in hillsburrito
