FS: AMS front mount intercooler

SORRY.......

ok guys I made some calls and this is not a AMS intercooler....I am pissed because i got ripped when i bought it. Also i dont want to try to sell it as a AMS intercooler....sorry. So I guess I am going to cut my losses and sell it for what i can get. If someone wants to make an offer they will probably get it. Again i apoligize for the misrepinsintation I was not trying to screw anyone, that is why i stated that i thought it was a AMS. Again a descent offer and someone can take this off my hands, i did some research and saw that they sell for about $150 on ebay. This thing will do no good sitting in my garage.

PS Did i mention how pissed i am?



The intercooler is in good shape and only has one or two bent fins on the front. It does have the top mount on it but it does not have the two lower mounts on it. I had to JB weld on my stock intercooler mounts to the back to make it work...not that big of a deal. Currently i have removed the two lower mounts as to I wanted to keep them on the stock intercooler. If you purchased this intercooler you would have to either JB weld on your stock mounts or take them to a weld shop to have them mounted on.

It will fit, you will just have to have the stock lower mounts on your stock intercooler mounted to this one.

Also I am posting pics up right now...i had forgotten to up load them

So it is an AMS intercooler for sure? I thought AMS intercoolers come with the bracket mounted? Does it including shipping?

I did my research on it before I bought it from him to make sure it was a AMS...he told me it was and he is a friend so I would hope he would not lie to me, but I did my research anyways. All of the knock off XS power intercoolers have "XS Power" stamped on the bottem in big letters. This one does not. Also I compared the welds to pics of the AMS intercooler on their site and the weld quality matches up. Also I have pressure tested this intercooler and it has no leaks and i could def. feel a difference in performance.

Back when he purshaced this intercooler the AMS painted logo was an option...now they ship them with the AMS logo on them..they want the advertising....lol

here is a pic of the AMS IC from there web site...you can see they are exactly the same size and have the same welds
