I know of many, including me that have the Ebay Intercooler and it is great. No holes or scratches. Comes shinny and stays shinny.
But, if there is a good budget, I would say to get a good name brand one.

 

team ebay, i had a bad encounter with the fmic. But i never even got it. The guy tried to scam me but paypal had my back...lol

 

rexspeed and srtmotorsport are on ebay. wow. i've only heard good things about them. rexspeed is on evoM and socalevo. srtmotorsport is only on socalevo. they're both good vendors

 

yes, I run it on my Evo IX

 

The Quickwhips 1000 HP Intercooler is amasing for 275.00 shipped to your door!!

 

well.... TB exhaust for sure
here's my thread with pics and some clips> https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/sh...d.php?t=226247

How do you guys know that the intercoolers are making any gains?

 

I disagree. My intercooler was about 97% perfect. It had a few bent fins but WHO cares... They are gonna get bent on the test drive anyways. No prob with the cooler @ all. Put down good power. Happy eBay customer.

 

I dont but I do know that the core doesnt heat up in 75 degree weather after running the car hard. Plus it flows more than the stock one.

 

Not to mention the pages and pages of carbon fiber, But even some off that is so thin it cracks very easy.

 

I have 6 budys that have the ebay FMIC and it works great. It only flow 6% less air then the real ones.

 

I bought a 3"ss down pipe and 3"ss cat delete that looks like the Helix one from Nissangtpower and fitment and shipping was great

 

Speaking of c/f, I purchased my c/f front lip from Ebay...fitting was perfect with predrilled holes, finish was great, and it still looks great til this day.

Then again, I've heard of horror stories with others trying to get one off Ebay and it didn't fit! Not sure if I just got lucky or not?!

You can always find good prices on spark plugs also on Ebay.

 

I have been curious to see some hard data on these ever since I sold mine. Mine leaked like crazy, sh!ttiest welds I ever saw. I dont believe there is any hard evidence that these are beneficial or not. The tbe however I have used for about 2 years and still looks new with zero issues. btw the fmic and tbe came from ssac.

 

When you say "the real ones" does that mean AMS'?
