pricy and black... from what i know, the mishimoto's don't have the densest cores around.. I would just go with a cheaper CX racing one and paint it black for about half the price.. it will do everything you will ever need it to do.. is that the size you are looking at? what are you looking at for boost pressure and power? seems a little big..

Looks good to me, other than I wouldn't want the brand name on it. I just used an Evo intercooler and sprayed it black, light coats of course so not to clog up the fins and only sprayed the side that will be seen.

^^ same here.. all i sprayed was the front and enough to be 'black' on my old srt-4.







its a little cock-eyed in that picture. was before i fixed it.. I got that IC for like 70$ and it seemed to work plenty well for me.. one can of paint was like 5$.. IC was 27"x3.5"x8" if i recall which should be plenty unless you are running MAD boost and powA!

For the price, that's an OK intercooler but the cooling capability would not be as good if you are running high boost.
