Sorry about that. Didn't work on the iPad, but it worked once I got back on the computer Cool video though, thanks for sharing!

 

Ets 4 inch ftw! Highly reccomended

 

Works for me.

 

Ive seen locals run the obx with no problems, but take that with a grain of salt.

 

what do you mean by "no problems"? their car didn't blow up?

 

ETS 3.5 or 4" & you can have them anodized !

 

It means what it means, did the job and put down power. Although the thread by buschur does make a great point. They may make good power but whats the temp after longs runs?

 

I don't think I can fully believe his test. He say that the eBay fmic make 60 degree more than the ams fmic!!! That totally bs in my belief....if they have the same thickness n not even have to have the same size...then maybe 20-30 degree more,then I would believe it. Oh and by the way, they sell those expensive product so they try to make all the other guys look bad..... I know I can smell a rat!!!
I wish there are some shop out there, that would actually do another test... But this time video it and put on the same size intercooler on each!!!

 

I run an obx intercooler and it does well with my car, granted its not the best, but from what i've seen is the core looks like the same design that ets uses and that's the main reason why I bought it.

I do have a major complaint with it though, the fitment sucks (must use washers or spacers to fit it) and i've known of 2 other evos that have fitment problems as well.

Granted I'm no intercooler guru, and i'm sure there are better quality intercoolers out there, the obx holds its own imo

 

Fitment was great. A little trimming of the bumper and that was all. I did leave the crash beam off for right now. But I did hold the crash beam in place and it looks like it will fit very easily with some quick trimming and or spacing. It was just too cold to mess around any longer!
Oh and the 4" dwarfs the stock intercooler!

not the best pics....

 

I am amazed at how many people lie to themselves trying to justify making a horrible purchase.

So you buy a cheap intercooler and make power over stock and that qualifies it as being "good"? Just because a core looks similar to the name brand parts doesnt mean it performs like it. Its even more funny that buschur has proved the knock offs to be junk, 100% proof, and yet people still make excuses by saying, oh that test is old, blah blah blah.....

In my eyes, an intercooler is a relatively cheap purchase when upgrading an evo, and still people cant shell out the cash. You save money now on a cheap intercooler, to put towards another part to try to make more power, but when you take the next step, realize that the intercooler is now holding you back and limiting your power gains and you just wasted your money in the first place. But hey,at least your evo looks like a race car now driving down the road

 

I agree that a lot of the knock offs are in fact junk. Fortunately, we're using a fin pack designed to our specs for our intercooler vs most ebay guys who tend to use whatever cheap core they can get their hands on.

 

get the VRSF or the ETS.

 

Agreed

 

Just got my 4" VRSF intercooler and Muse LICP from Tiago at VR-Speed.com today and just mounted them a few hours ago.... I replaced my old TurboXS 3.5" one and my Injen LICP (FINALLY) ....let me tell you... This thing fits so nicely under the crash beam that all I had to do was slip it from under it... Without touching anything else, I went for a test drive ....my evo seems to be spooling up faster and is now peaking at an extra 1-2 psi ....I will probably need to be retuned but overall I am happy with my purchase.... The only hiccup and gripe that I had, was that the supplied couplings were an inch too short on the Muse Lower-side and 3/4" too short on the Injen Upper-side ( Hey Tiago: take notes, make your silicone couplings an inch longer please ) ........lucky for me, I remembered I had some extra 2.5"-3.0" 45 degree silicone reducer bends laying around ....just wasted an hour trying and trying to get my pipes to line up, and another 30 mins looking for my spare couplings in the garage ... I will let you all know how my tune goes, when I get over to my boys over at Ivey Tune...
