Is this Junk???

[Patterson]

Hey guys, I have a question for you. I'm looking to get a FMIC and I came across this kit from ebay. What do you guys think? The only thing I don't like about it is that it has a 3" inlet/outlet. I'm still running the dinky T25. Thanks for your help.

It's the same IC core that's been discussed 1,000,000,000,000 times before here.

You will need no modification to the piping with this intercooler kit

Well except to add a BOV flange as (from the pics) that's not included.

What even funnier is that Greddy doens't even have their own core, so there really is no such thing as a greddy core. They buy them from Yonka and guys like that and do their own end tanks as well.

Thats like Genuine SSAutochrome parts.. WTF

Looks like "OBX" or whatever to me.

Im sure it would still be effective.

Any FMIC is better than the stock SMIC.

I have no problems with any of these low-cost cores as the one I have (RREs 18x6x2.75 core) is anorexic compared to most of them yet still allows me to run 22psi on pump with my 50-trim

Just be aware that all of these eBay cores are one-size-fits-all (i.e. not DSM specific in size) so would require varying degrees of fabrication depending on your car.

In the kit mentioned above you will also need to source a BOV flange ($20), short piece of 1.5" AL pipe ($3), have both fitted/TIG welded (~$100), bead roll the pipes (~$40), source T-Bolt clamps (not pictured) 13 @$5/ea = $70, a 2" to 2.5" silicone reducer ~ $35.

That's $268 more and I'm sure I'm forgetting things.
