They are good, they use a quality core and car well built. but for the price i would go with something else such as an ets intercooler, it is better and cheaper, can't beat that combo

they are just not as popular with the evo's as much as they are with other bolt on car kits. They are a quality intercooler though.

For the Evo I'd have to say no. Greddy makes good Honda/Acura performance parts. As for the Evo, the their exhaust is good but thats about it. As far as intercoolers go, I'd get AMS, ETS, or BR for the Evo.

they use the same cores, it doesn't matter what car it is for, the endtanks are still top notch, and the welds look great. How can you say that they are not any good? There are just better options.

Not saying Greddy sucks *** and they make crappy products. I'm saying that I'd get a different brand of intercooler. ETS is a very good intercooler, cheaper and better. Aslo theres companies that specialize in DSM's, Greddy doesn't specialize in anything.

good deal i think we are on the same page, just at first it sounded like you were saying greddy sucks for an evo and is good on a honda.


Truth be told i would personally never run an intercooler that wasn't made by ets. I had front mounts made by JR from waywayway back in the day. He makes an awesome product and couldn't be a nicer guy

What I was trying to say was that Greddy doesn't make popular performance products for Evos (except the exhaust). And that Hondas and Acuras don't (that I know of) have companies that specialize in their car the way BR, AMS, and ETS sorta specialize in Evos.

Its ok to say they suck, cause they do. Tube fin designed intercoolers were just enlarged radiators and the design is very dated. People keep buying them so greddy will still produce them, but you will never see them on any superhigh hp application cause they arent that good. Bar and plate is the way to go period, brand name is not that important as long as the core and end tanks are of good quality.
