Great pics, I also went with the NISEI but I must admit I almost got the Buschur. The only thing I would like to add as a remark,comment or perhaps improvement is that this intercooler is heavy and the only center bracket gives the intercooler even less estability making it subjective to swing.
The inlet and outlet piping helps the intercooler to stabilize. I think this intercooler is indeed one of the best in the market. I am dynoing my car very soon(in two weeks) and I will post the differences on the dyno.
This is a pic of the intercooler installed in my car. I do recommend this intercooler but also read the FMIC thread, there are other good intercoolers out there in the market.

It's funny how people get all bent outta shape about the crash bar. (no pun intended)
Those things are there to certify the US car for 5MPH impacts. 5!!!! The amount of energy that it will absorb in any serioius accident is negligable.
I however, still would never modify/remove it. Because once your insurance inspector comes to do an estimate after your latest fender bender, you probably wont be covered.
