I wonder what AMS has to say about this.

If i were to purchase an intercooler, it would only be HKS, ARC or Greedy. Not because it's bling, bling or bang for the buck, but because it's who I trust. Again, I'm not saying that others are bad or not as good, but it's a matter of personal preference.

For the performance, fitment with no mods (not even trimming of the undertray), craftsmanship and price, I honestly feel that our IC is best. We offer four different EVO intercoolers sized from 3" thick to 5" thick to ensure we have the properly sized cooler for any setup and back all of them with a lifetime warranty. The 5" intercooler that anyone can buy for their personal EVO is the exact same intercooler that's used on Paul's (ifarted2) 1014whp monstrosity. If you have any questions about which will work best for your setup I'd be happy to discuss with you over the phone, PM or E-mail

Man, that is pretty, can't wait to get mine. I agree on the performance for the stock turbo (04' or 05')- ETS seems to make the most sense with the research I've done.

I looked VERY closely at two others that were in the same league and price range and I couldn't come up with a reason to go any other way.
