Yes, I used one on my own car and had threads about it starting way back like 3 years ago so it's nothing new...
Check out this thread, it was the original one when we first started selling them. It's got lots of info, pics, measurements, reviews, etc...

Here's one for even less, $165

Now if Driftmotion and Suprasport could play nice with each other in the play ground JK. Arron and Jack, both of you are have helped out the supra community tremendisly.

I'm fairly sure that's what I have. I've no complaints about it at 300rwhp.

Installation was straightforward... use brackets, mount as required

Ive always wondered what "dido" means.............

Dido is a singer I think they are looking for "ditto"

The original Spearco(which I have) was rated to flow for 600 HP, why the decrease on the replicas to 400 Wheel which is around 480 to 500 crank?

going by memory the original knock off intercooeler is 3.5" thick and the other is 3" going by the description

Suprasport and us do play nice, there's no bad blood there at all, but when someone undercuts us by a few bucks on something we have sold for years, something they have in fact purchased from me for resale before, then has someone make a shameless plug post about it on the forum we are an authorized vendor on, it just bugs a little. It's a free country, they can sell whatever they want...

Yes, the one for $165 is a few inches longer, but it's a 3" thick core. The Spearco replica is a 3.5" core.

Aaron, I and NO ONE here had anything to do with the IC question. I got home from Vegas late Monday night and was home sick all day yesterday. When I add product lines I have a set margin.
Aaron and I do play nice and buy parts from each other olat and will continue to do so, this is obviosly a mistake, I do not post our products because I am not an authorized vendor! I do not have others try to do it for me either!

gents, play nice!

Eye Have YOU!

 

[black89t]

if you ask me they're all china knock offs. i wouldn't be surprise if they both are from the exact same factory. same with a majority of the ebay ones. i say if you want true quality get a real spearco or hks that is authentic. other wise i don't see a BIG difference between any of the knock offs other than the price. the only reason i would buy it from dm or ss is because if you get it and it doesn't hold pressure they will gladly help you out. where as on ebay its you get what you get. thats it. even though from what i have read the ebay ic seem to work fine for a lot of people. just my .02

 

[Angry7M]

Well I own a Spearco replica like the ones DM is selling, and so far it has held up pretty good, I have had no problems and no complaints on it.......:biglaugh:

 

[figgie]

Enough!

Not looking for opinions on where they came from. Stick to topic or feel my wrath!!!

 

[Jack]

Sorry Fig for the OT. I am a bit cranky today from being sick and the 30 hour drive back from Vegas pulling Gregs new boat.

The feed back I have heard from my customers who have bought them so far is they really like them especially for the money. I will probably be putting something along this line on our shop car to keep the investment into it down a bit. So far the brackets have bolted up really well and the polish job is pretty good.
I don't think anyone in the states has flow tested one yet but I have not heard that anyone has found any poor performance yet. I did have a customer who did have a Spearco and it was damaged in an accident and he put the Xo2 on and said he didn't notice a difference between the two.

I am not saying they are great...but if there is a probablem with product I am usually the first one to hear...if there is not a problem I hear nothing, pretty vague I know hope this helps

ps...Buy from who you want to!...this is not a sales pitch for me!
