Hey yellowfever,
Pep Boys and Autozone also sell AEM, APR, ACT, .... and every other brand name performance product you can get.
I have an OBX catch can (from Ebay). Looks and works just like a Cusco unit but costs less than 1/2.
Are you one of those brand name guys that only buys what's "hot"?
Take a little pride and engineer your own products.
Al from Dynoflash thinks my Intecooler Set-up is very professional and one of the main factors that my car is "one of the fastest 91 octane cars" he's tuned.

You'd be suprised by some of OBX's products. I have an OBX N1 look alike muffler on my GVR4 and it is true 3" all the way thru, looks just like an N1, and sounds WAY better than an N1. Best of all, when you buy 20 of them at a time, OBX sells them for less than an Autometer boost gauge costs. By far the best cheap muffler Ive ever come across.

I've seen plenty of obx products on forums all over, and the general concencus is that they suck hairy **** *****. Im willing to bet that if you dropped that intercooler from a few feet in the air the endtanks would break right off. Just like "ssautocrap" and "spark racing" and "stone mountain racing"
Just a bunch of ebay ****! All I can say is that their **** sucks, and they use the cheapest material possible. After this warning if any of you end up buying this crap for your EVO's I think you deserve to slap yourself in the face.
YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!

Bump from the dead. I figure with all the eBay intercooler debate this one is only $350.

the obx intercooler for the evo is bascally a turbo xs copy. its still minf of expensive for a knock off.
i would just buy the ams know off or i would just buy this
