i thought drag had cast endtanks, not that funky bent-piece-of-sheet-aluminum welded endtanks.


i really meant sheet, not ****

Its a spearco core. It looks like the ones that came with the drag 2 kits.

DRAG uses cast end tanks. Looks like their size of their standard core.

supposed to flow pretty well - but only like 2-2.5in thick...

Just because it looks nice doesn't mean it works well. Unless those end tanks have walls inside them that direct some of the air toward the top, I don't think that that is a very effecient design.

True, that design would slow the air down on it's way out. I doubt that is a greddy from his wording--After market greddy. He doesn't even give the size.

thats the same exact set up of the nedtanks as the SKR and the Drag, so it cant be that bad .
Y ea i Nnever knew SKR made smaller ones, everytime i talk to him , he tries to sell me on the huge ones

This is definitely not a Greddy intercooler. Greddy does not have square end tanks like the one shown

i doubt its going on a nine second race car, it WILL work fine for any street project within reason, ~250-300 whp. IT WILL BE FINE
