This intercooler has been proven to work.
Does it fit correctly? no there are some minor fitment issues.
Is this a great quality item? no the fins are much thinner than the AMS unit, but hey it works. You will eventually upgrade to a more quality unit.
Is it heavier? yes but then again i can guarantee that not all upgraded intercoolers are going to be the same weight or less than the stock one.

Did your pipes not come with a bead at the end to prevent the pipes from blowing off? Unless they were completely smooth i doubt it was a design flaw.

My buddy is running a lot of parts on his car, tbe, intake, cams, alky, maftpro, and much more as well as the xs power intercooler. Currently he has around 420 whp on the stock turbo. If this incooler was worse than stock, I don't think he would be pushing those kinds of numbers.

i used to run one of their 4inch cores on my 500+hp 240sx. it worked great and u couldnt beat the price. but if it was going on my evo i would go with something proven and made to fit without modding anything.
