Default Anyone know anything about this intercooler kit?

So this seems really inexpensive. Anyone know anything about it? Quality? Thanks for the input!

I would suggest against it as many others have as well. If your interested to know why google it and the evolutionm forum will tell you all about it. Basically it heat soaks quickly and has been said to be worse than stock.

You'll get what you pay for. If you are looking for a quick and cheap upgrade from the stock RA intercooler and piping, try a quick and easy upgrade to the stock Evo X IC UICP/LICP.

-one inch off in fitment... hours of jerry-riggin
-end of tubes get bent easily due to cheap/thin material
-greater pressure drop across cheap intercoolers
-having to replace even one component will make you think later, "damn i should have gotten a trusted one"
-no chance of decent resale value for parts (AMS/ETS parts depreciate only 25-35% depending on use/condition)

if you're trying to save a coupe hundred bucks... why not just wait a few more weeks/months and save up a little at a time?

Looks like the CX racing kit to me, I'm sure you could find it cheaper on ebay. Honestly the best answer is just to use the x stuff, there's no gains by swapping to larger pipe, our gains come from the elimination of the crimped LICP, and the slightly larger UICP you get from the x swap.

I saw it when I first got my RA, I would not purchase it because it looks universal. But its up to you.
