This has to be a scam or knock-off, I dont think that a company like Mishimoto would let these pass quality control and still be sent out to sell. Buy at your own risk but this POS has to be a fake!

looks like a polished stock intercooler with a "defective" logo so it would have a reason to sell you a stock part and make you think its "mishimoto"

He sells a lot of open box Mishimotos radiators. Heck, he might even be an open box Mishimoto E-tailer. And yes, for simple things like upside down spray paint logo, it's considered defective that easy. Just like opening a box and then returning it. It's considered opened but never used but no one wants to pay full price on an open box when they can buy the same one sealed.

you would think mishimoto would just spend the money to respray it.
even if it meant turning it into a blacked out i/c the cost of the respray vs the loss of it being a defect.
:-$

Agree. .
This look fake..
the description sounds fishy "Packaging should be the same as what is found in a retail store,"

I looked up some pics and this looks like a painted stock EVO IC.



See what I see,
Enlarge the pic on EBAY then enlarge the pic on the website you linked.
end tanks are not the same,
sorry dude I just don't buy it.

Good luck though, let us know if I'm wrong

I can't believe Mishimoto has made a name for "quality" with the evo community. Well played mr. rivera

Do you know something we don't? Mishimoto does NOT produce the OEM intercoolers on these cars....
