Default Full Race Back Door Intercooler Q?? $$worth it??

Looking at the Full-Race backdoor intercooler.
Because it eliminates A/C and the Driver Charge Pipe. (known for blowing off)
For those who experienced this particular Back-door IC.
Is it worth the investment $$?
How is the Fitment? and Cosemetics on how it fits?
any bad/good comments?

Vehicle:
92 EG
B18C

not worth teh money imo, any charge pipe can pop off just get some tbolts and a johnny racecar intercooler for like 200 bucks and call it a day

I have one.I dont have it installed yet. I hear they are really nice.I like the idea of the BOV on the endtank of the intercooler.

They are close, but they aren't centered. I do love FR products; this is just me being me... I can't have something that's meant to be centered be off center.

Maybe I need meds.

I used to think that too, but it grew on me. Plus, we got my friends Full-Race IC pretty damn close on his teg. If you include the BOV it's centered

I think it is worth it , less piping , better spool up and response , the only down fall i think is the off centered look , but I could learn to live with it cus Iam more function over form any day

looks like i might consider the Full-Race Backdoor.
But damnn! Fat $$Tag!!
Anyways the white EG in the first Pics. w/the Full-Race backdoor....What size is the core the 8" or 11" height?
why i ask is because Im afraid that maybe the 8" might sit on the lower edge of the front bumper..making it look funny?

Those are the pictures of how it connects. Its just a pipe i made to fit between two couplers. It was pretty simple, seems to work fine so far.
