Hey yellowfever,
Pep Boys and Autozone also sell AEM, APR, ACT, .... and every other brand name performance product you can get.

I have an OBX catch can (from Ebay). Looks and works just like a Cusco unit but costs less than 1/2.
Are you one of those brand name guys that only buys what's "hot"?
Take a little pride and engineer your own products.
Al from Dynoflash thinks my Intecooler Set-up is very professional and one of the main factors that my car is "one of the fastest 91 octane cars" he's tuned.

You'd be suprised by some of OBX's products. I have an OBX N1 look alike muffler on my GVR4 and it is true 3" all the way thru, looks just like an N1, and sounds WAY better than an N1. Best of all, when you buy 20 of them at a time, OBX sells them for less than an Autometer boost gauge costs. By far the best cheap muffler Ive ever come across.

I've seen plenty of obx products on forums all over, and the general concencus is that they suck hairy **** *****. Im willing to bet that if you dropped that intercooler from a few feet in the air the endtanks would break right off. Just like "ssautocrap" and "spark racing" and "stone mountain racing"

Just a bunch of ebay ****! All I can say is that their **** sucks, and they use the cheapest material possible. After this warning if any of you end up buying this crap for your EVO's I think you deserve to slap yourself in the face.


YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!

THIS INTERCOOLER IS NOT MADE BY OBX, they just sell it/put their names on it. i did research... it is made by an asian company and they make generic intercoolers for many parts companies. such as hybrid, this is the exact same intercooler as a hybrid and they are evidently a hot item in australia and japan. many skylines have them and they sell for alot of money over there. if bishi boy has had a good experience with them, im ganna buy it... it has a 1 year warrantee, il know before then if its not good,


p.s. check this link i found.... http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...486285038&rd=1
does this intercooler look familiar?
or how about this one?

Bump from the dead. I figure with all the eBay intercooler debate this one is only $350.
