Looks like it to me. Remember, this is the previous version of the AMS intercooler, before they made cast end tanks.

Or, why don't you e-mail these pics to AMS? I'm sure they can figure it out.

I have an ams intercooler too, and it looks just like what you have there. Also remember the ams intercooler came in two sizes, standard and race... The race has a thicker core (almost 4" wide) and different fin layout

Thanks guys. I emailed Eric at AMS and he said that it doesn't appear to be one made by them since the 1st gen AMS intercoolers had welded endtanks. I'm glad I did this and asked around before committing to buy this. That would not have been good at all. Thanks for the advice and input everyone.
Edit: Before buying anything do your homework. Research and get 2nd opinions. The extra work could save your butt.
