Should be fine, as long as the welds are quality. The size is fine for your application.

well thank you for the reply. Yea apparently the welds hold up real decent and according to email, the guys stands behind his work and garauntees and all that, and if something does go wrong, which it never has, he pays for new one ect...anyone else?

Just for refrence, psi means nothing when it comes to intercooler flow, horsepower means everything.

Have you considered this one? Looks like it may be a little better quality but I don't have any first hand experiance. I would also consider a Drag IC or a small precision IC.

Well i said PSI because i really dont know wat hp i will be pushing, i guess 8 or so is about 240 or 250, but im gonna tune down the road for about 300. Also that isnt that IC in the link a little too tall? being 9 inches wont there be fitment problems? thanx for the replies guys.
