question: AGP vs. ETS IC for evo 9

Hello experts
I'm planning to upgrade my IC due to heat soak.
What do you guys recommend between AGP (3.5") vs. ETS (3.5") ???
Thank you!!!

Haven't seen any rusults from the AGP unit. ETS makes a proven IC with plenty of good results. Of the two I'd pick ETS.

I've been told by a few that you will REALLY want the garret 3.8" core.

Thanks guys.

I know ETS FMIC is proven !!!!

but, I hav some friends who are running AGP FMIC on evo x, and their AGP FMIC seems like providing sufficient cold air to their evos.

Is anyone running AGP FMIC on evo 8/9 ?????
It would be great if I can get some reviews....

I purchased the Garrett core intercooler from ETS. Quality and fitment is awesome. It is a perfect snug fit. You can still use the front crash beam too!

Love my ETS 3.5" "wide" IX FMIC. Bolted up in minutes and is holding up really well around the 400 awhp mark on VD. Not to mention, the ETS crew is extremely friendly.

ETS claims their design is superior:

I run the ETS 3.5 in 110 degree heat without issue.

the only issue I'm talking about is being down on power a few hp, not something you'd necessarily notice.

I have a friend who's making over 600hp and he had AGP 3.5 IC on his Evo in ARIZONA. The heat is crazy here during summer. But seems like more people use ETS IC's due to their test results

Bingo ^ lol This guy knows

Seriously though. ETS is the best company I've ever worked with! Get their intercooler and don't look back. Their customer service is beyond top notch and they do care. I'll support this company till I can't drive anymore.
