Your thoughts on this intercooler please

Evolution AGP Front Mount Intercooler







Enhance the performane of your 2003-up Mitsubishi Evolution VIII and IX with one of the best front mount intercoolers available. The AGP Turbo FMIC features polished cast aluminum end tanks tig welded to a 24x12x3.5" bar and plate core. This assembly fits perfectly in the factory location and does NOT require you to remove or trim any portion of the stock bumper support. It cools at 90-99% efficiency under almost all conditions and has less than 1psi pressure drop at 450 hp of airflow. You couldn't heat soak this if you tried.

Testing of our intercooler on a 2006 EVO IX with only a turboback exhaust showed peak gains of 25 ft/lbs of torque and 25 horsepower. The intercooler showed gains throughout the entire rpm band.

The FMIC includes:

24x12x3.5 core with polished cast end tanks
2.5" silicone hump hoses and clamps
All necessary installation hardware

Available with a red or black AGP Logo.

Thoughts, comments, opinions are all appreciated.

My friend bought this and due to personal problems has to sell it. It is brand new in the box and he wants $400 for it.

I am not asking if the HP and TQ claims are true. I am asking if you guys and girls think the design and construction of the intercooler is good.

I had AGP CAI and AGP "Race" FMIC on my 04 SRT-4, but this is a fairly new product from AGP and I wanted people's thought and opinions on it.

Looks like another quality product from Ben and the guys at AGP. I like the fact that it retains the factory crash bar, but the bottom won't fit without trimming the tray or removing per Ben @ AGP.

PM ME, but the one I might buy for $350 is from a friend that bought new and is forced to sell for personal reasons. That's why I considered it because it is such a good deal.

Why would you care about the design and construction. Thats not why you upgrade the FMIC in my opinion...

Take others advice, if you cant find testing on it, or comparisons, don't buy it.


So many other proven products online, that you are bound to find something reasonable in price, and performs great too.
