Bump for you man!
Quick question- if you measure its thickness, is it 3.5", or larger than 3.5"? I'm thinking these are a little bigger than 3.5" but I've read in most places that they're 3.5 so I was wondering if you could solve that question for me

Here's how it looked right before I took it off my Evo...
And here is the power I made on it at 26 and 29 PSI respectively. It works

I apologize to bomb your thread I just want to look out for other community members.
Just wanted to make sure everyone is aware but the description above currently does not adequately describe the product for sale.
Seller mis-quoted data AMS's website which describes the 2nd revision front mount intercooler not the original which is what the seller has offered.
***Edit.. added data to support claim.
You'll find the quoted information here.

Notice how different the intercooler in the picture looks from the one for sale.
Also, the difference doesn't stop with cast end tanks. The cores are actually quite different. If anyone questions that count the number of rows of fins on the AMS website picture then in the product for sale.

All true, I did point out that this core has sheet metal end tanks. This is the one and very same AMS Street inter-cooler that debuted 2003-04. It has a Garret core and is rated to 650WHP. I called AMS and asked about the end tank revision and they stated that it adds no power increase just easier to mass produce. My AMS IC has 15 ROWS, the one in picture has 18 ROWS. As far as cooling properties between this unit and the latest unit, they are identical.
Don't take my word for it, call up AMS and ask, that's how I got my info. They said no difference in cooling and both are rated for 650WHP. After that you need a RACE inter-cooler.
3.5 on the nose.

I just got off the phone with AMS a while ago and spoke with tech. They stated that the new style end tanks and cast for ease of manufacturing vs welding a set of end tanks, saves money and time.
As for the core differences, my AMS intercooler is a Garrett core. The ones AMS uses now are proprietary, meaning custom to their application. They won't tell me which core it is for business purposes but it isn't a Garrett.
As far as performance differences, cooling, pressure drop, not one ounce of difference. It seems to me AMS made done cost cutting changes without sacrificing performance and reliability.
That said I have a quality AMS part for sale.
