i bought my evo VIII used, the previous owner had done some "tasteful" mod's on the car, one of which is spray painting the stock intercooler black. i want to replace the intercooler with the stock one, but i couldn't find any for a reasonable price. i had a johnnyracecar.com 8" intercooler on my previous car and was very impressed with it. would the 8" fit the evo w/o replacing the IC pipes? you can get the end tanks positioned on the bottom, middle, or top of the intercooler. $245 shipped is hard to beat.

 

im sure there might be someone who is looking for a black intercooler that would do a trade with you? its good that youre changing it out because painting an intercooler doesnt help with its function, but im sure if you look hard enough you can find a buyer for your intercooler, and just get a stock one for maybe an extra hundred or so...or maybe an even trade
