So it's, "go name brand, or go home."? I can spray paint spearco on the front of my intercooler and get the same results with it as you would with the same thing but coming from the actual company.

I say go cheap. I too bought a kit off ebay with 2mm thick aluminum pipes, bead rolled with reinforced silicone couplers and t-bolt clamps. I had to cut a few pieces so I lost the bead roll on a couple connections, but its taken up to 18lbs so far with zero blowoffs. If I could TIG I would have done it, but what I have works fine. The whole kit cost me less than $200 and I sold my left overs for about $80.
I also cant see spending big money for an intercooler. I mean its not like its some super high tech item. Its an air to air passive radiator, not exactly rocket science.
