I run an obx intercooler and it does well with my car, granted its not the best, but from what i've seen is the core looks like the same design that ets uses and that's the main reason why I bought it.
I do have a major complaint with it though, the fitment sucks (must use washers or spacers to fit it) and i've known of 2 other evos that have fitment problems as well.
Granted I'm no intercooler guru, and i'm sure there are better quality intercoolers out there, the obx holds its own imo

Fitment was great. A little trimming of the bumper and that was all. I did leave the crash beam off for right now. But I did hold the crash beam in place and it looks like it will fit very easily with some quick trimming and or spacing. It was just too cold to mess around any longer!
Oh and the 4" dwarfs the stock intercooler!
not the best pics....

I am amazed at how many people lie to themselves trying to justify making a horrible purchase.
So you buy a cheap intercooler and make power over stock and that qualifies it as being "good"? Just because a core looks similar to the name brand parts doesnt mean it performs like it. Its even more funny that buschur has proved the knock offs to be junk, 100% proof, and yet people still make excuses by saying, oh that test is old, blah blah blah.....
In my eyes, an intercooler is a relatively cheap purchase when upgrading an evo, and still people cant shell out the cash. You save money now on a cheap intercooler, to put towards another part to try to make more power, but when you take the next step, realize that the intercooler is now holding you back and limiting your power gains and you just wasted your money in the first place. But hey,at least your evo looks like a race car now driving down the road

Just got my 4" VRSF intercooler and Muse LICP from Tiago at VR-Speed.com today and just mounted them a few hours ago.... I replaced my old TurboXS 3.5" one and my Injen LICP (FINALLY) ....let me tell you... This thing fits so nicely under the crash beam that all I had to do was slip it from under it... Without touching anything else, I went for a test drive ....my evo seems to be spooling up faster and is now peaking at an extra 1-2 psi ....I will probably need to be retuned but overall I am happy with my purchase.... The only hiccup and gripe that I had, was that the supplied couplings were an inch too short on the Muse Lower-side and 3/4" too short on the Injen Upper-side ( Hey Tiago: take notes, make your silicone couplings an inch longer please 
) ........lucky for me, I remembered I had some extra 2.5"-3.0" 45 degree silicone reducer bends laying around ....just wasted an hour trying and trying to get my pipes to line up, and another 30 mins looking for my spare couplings in the garage ... I will let you all know how my tune goes, when I get over to my boys over at Ivey Tune...
