Keep stock or upgrade to a non universal kit. There are a lot of QUALITY kits out there from vendors here. That is eBay one is a cheap made China intercooler for that price.

I am sure others will chime in, and agree. What benifit do you think you will get from that intercooler? Who says the flow rate/efficincy is better than yours now? You have a sensors in your current charge pipes, how will you fit those pipes? It is universal for a reason.

Do it right, or you will be just throwing $ away.

one of the best ebay ic's i've seen

CXRacing INTERCOOLER 27X6X3.5 Turbo CIVIC ACCORD CRX - eBay (item 330346068049 end time Jan-10-11 21:51:55 PST)

but if you're an lnf and using existing things you'll want to buy something that's gonna work with stock stuff, unless you're gonna modify it

I just installed a MPx intercooler. They are really nice and priced at only $399. Fits great too, plus don't hang down too low. If you are changing IC, then you at least should get a better hot charge pipe (upper one).

First of all. You will NEVER get that "Universal" kit to fit your car. Also, there is nowhere to mount your sensors on those pipes. There is a reason why all the complete intercooler and piping kits are $700+. Save your time, money and effort and buy the proper parts the first time around.

My intercooler has been nothing but great. Except for the normal charge pipe popping off the hotside.

Never felt it get warm.
