The spearco core is a great core, i can not really comment on there intercooler however

 

Yes it fits with the stock crash beam.

People don't run them here because they cost more then other brands and I think 1 person didn't get the results he thought he would so he posted a negative review.

I have one on my car. It fits a lot better then the Ebay one that I replaced and I got it used for a very fair price. Spearco cores are good and the end tanks look to have some thought put into them so I'm sure its a good intercooler.

Is it the biggest badass one out on the market? no.
Is it better then stock? yes.

 

Can anyone confirm the quality of spearco cores? I had some sent to my about 1 year ago that where identical to some overseas tawainese cores i had around the shop, i wasn't impressed to say the least.
