That looks like a ebay FMIC to me....there is only like 5 fins per inch and a couple of those welds look haggard. That being said I dont know the quality of their stuff first hand. I would hope for the price its better than that....for comparison here is a pic of a greddy cooler I have for sale and a high quality core I have for sale

greddy






and the core



and another cheapy ebay FMIC also for sale

yea i'm kinda indecisive on it... the bead welds on the core look ok and around the ends but the mount welds look a little ganked up.. but i did email spearco and send them the pics, the guy at spearco said without actually having it in hand there is no absolute way to tell but as far as he can tell its real..
