seems to ricerish "stunna" style advertising but looks functional... hopefully the picture reflects the actual cooler you get. if thats the case it looks ok, nothing revolutionary like they want you to believe.

got to love the claims to be better than the competition... "SPEXRCO, TRUXST,HXS,BLXTZ,AXC"...

LOL...

BTW the inlet and outlet are 3 inch... very big for anything but all out racing (although the size overall is not huge but decent @ 24x12x3...).

i know thats kinda gay, i just cant seem to find an intercooler. The precesion is kinda pricey, so i was just looking. would you get it for the money or find something else, i want to spend 500 or less complete.

I payed little under 500 for a 29x11x3... spearco core with tanks (2.5" in/out)... decent deal and worth it to me.

any of the precision intercoolers are well worth the price. remember, you get what you pay for. ..im arturbo

Looks like a crappy "Starion" FMIC ....

You'd be better off with a Supra's intercooler ('87-'92), all aluminum & no plastic endtanks either ...

I got my Bell Intercooler core (I think they are real popular with mustang guys) the core is 12x24x3.5 for like 475 and they put endtanks and ends on it for another 100 bucks. Some place in Illinois I cant remember the name. Really nice bar and plate like spearco though
