i think it looks pretty nice.. but find out how many CFM's it flows and compare it to stocker and how much HP you are shooting for. It should be efficient.

I don't see how $199 is too "expencive"...
This IC looks like it will almost drop in with minor modifications... I'd say, pick up a couple silicone couplers and the job is done.... better yet, pick up a set of these IC pipes.(<--that's a link)
Just search eBay for "intercooler piping", and check the descriptions before you buy any of them. They usually go for $100, but those pipes are only 1.5mm wall thickness, which is nothing.

The link I provided has 2mm pipes, which are better, but not much. I even sifted through 5 pages to find those...
Once in a while, you'll find some Stainless Steel universal IC pipe kits. Those are good. My friend's DSM came with that kit on it and the pipes are very good quality.

:EDIT: I found that set my buddy has on his DSM. 304 Stainless. 2 available right now. click me!

Good luck!

PS: I believe that someone flow tested that IC and it outflowed the Spearco? Someone please disspell this if untrue...

I got a similar IC. It's for a DSM, but with no hangers, and was built by texas turbo and looks like that one, not sure about the actual size. Mine has 2.5" in/out and is good sized the angled top and bottom tanks are supposed to really increase efficiency.

Matt, (is it matt?)
I wouldn't hesitate.
I also edited my other post, but i'll put it here too
These IC Pipes (<-link) are 304 Stainless and very good quality. Just hit up HoseTechniques for some good couplers and you're way under budget for a full IC upgrade!
