Amazing intercooler. I have one on my IX and will never use anything else. I race my IX with NASA AZ and I have never had an issue with it. It looks great and performs even better. This is a killer holiday sale, you will not find a better 3.5" Intercooler for $400.00 bucks, period. AGP will take good care of you.

Just Picked one up a few weeks ago.. right now they're at the lowest pricing!! Luckily I live in arizona (AGP located here) so i walked out the door with a Brand new one for $395! Talked to one of the employees who was selling his old one with red AGP logo on it for $200 if you're interested in that you might want to call them up and see if they still have it.. keep in mind, that one is used so its about 8/10 condition.
as far as quality goes these IC's are great quality with nice welds and I'm very happy with mine! they are definitely heavier then the stock IC though but it dwarfs stock unit. I think they fit better on 9 bumper cause I had to do zero cutting although i don't have my stock undertray no more or else i might of had to cut that.. seems from the above pics some cutting is required on the evo 8 bumper.
I can't really explain it as its probably all in my head but my car seems to pull harder.. I will be getting retuned on dyno this saturday so lets see if i make any more power.. atleast I won't heatsoak anymore.

FYI - I called AGP Turbo on Friday...They said that they have used Garrett cores in the past, but that is no longer the case. In fact he could not even tell me what brand cores they use anymore, only that they use the "same high quality cores that have always been used".

What does it matter what core they use? Their core works just fine. ETS makes probably the most popular intercooler for the Evo 8/9 and they don't use Garrett cores either. I love my AGP Intercooler and the 26whp I gained from it gives me no reason to get rid of it. There's a member on here that hit 752whp on this intercooler.

HAHA you're right and i was just kidding.. im very happy with mine and love the price compared to others that's why i had to jump on it!! I didnt get great results on wingz dyno day cause of a boost leak.. have to do a boost leak test to see where im leaking at and i'm also sure my stock DV doesnt like 30 psi. BTW i think i saw your post on desert evos on your new FP manifold!! looks really nice and you can still use heatshield if you wanted to right? man i wish i saw that deal.
Thanks for the kind words. The FP Manifold does fit under the factory heat shield but I'm not going to, it looks too good to cover up 
And if you're interested in getting the FP manifold they still have them for sale on their website at Black Friday pricing of $150.

That is all I have seen, someone else here said they were going to tune and dyno their car after installing this ic. Still hoping they post the new numbers with it so I can see the difference before I pull the trigger on this ic.

I ordered one this week. Attempted the instal, but ran into problems conneting the couplers. It seemed like the provided couplers were not long enough. I am getting help from Ben at AGP. Most likely just gonna make the 2.5 hr drive up to them and have them install it. Maybe a run on the dyno before and after. Who knows!!!
