obx front mount intercooler?

Anyone tried this obx intercooler? Is the fitment good, just like stock using stock hoses? I had a universal intercooler and the fitment was bad.
Sellers Details:

The core dimensions are, 25" x 11.5" x 3.5" and utilizes a tube and fin design. Endtank inlet and outlet diameter is 2". Retains all stock piping and hardware for installation.


thanks

its a copy of the turbo xs. its over priced and a rip off for a copy. but off course it will be better than the stokc intercooler. preatty much any standard bar and plate intercooler is better then the stocker.

I have the same obx intercooler on my evo and it works very good and only drop
1 psi @ 20 psi and use all stock holes and pipes the only thing you will have to do is turn the inlet .

Why would you put crap like this on your car??? Seriously OBX is on par with APC...would you put an intercooler on from a company that makes most of their money selling stickers???

Might as well go to Toys 'R' Us and buy an intercooler.

I would if they had low price intercoolers that were better than stock.

Intercooler is a intercooler some works good and some works better
the obx work better than the stock I don't care about the name obx I got it off my friend for $180.00 and let me tell you it does the job and it looks good too.
It fill the grill up with noting but intercooler.. It's the same as Perrin with out the name and $400.00 more some of you don't like OBX don't buy it. If you have alot of money than go out and but what ever you want I'm just leting you guy know that it works FINE and way better than stock.

This is a completely false statement. An intercooler is not an intercooler, as you have two different types when it comes to air to air. You have bar and plate, along with tube and fin. The BIG part of the cooling factor is the quality of the core itself. You will never find an exceptional core at a cheap price,this is simply not an option .

I would be more worried about the very small inlet outlets. 2" is smaller than stock and smaller than the piping feeding it. Very strange.

True I'm talking about the obx intercooler is better than a stock intercooler for the money.

If you talking about making over 400 awhp than that is not the intercooler for you.
