$720 for a piece of metal that probably costs about $100 to make? good luck with that.

i wish i knew how to weld so I could screw people out of $720, get rich, and laugh at every ******* that buys one

One big enough to support a precision 6057 and keep the crash bar.

Or make 1 exactly as big as hahn but charge $500 you'll make a killing.

If Hahn's intercooler was 450-475 I would already have one. I just can't justify 7-800 dollars for one . Hahn would sell a ton of them and still make money at 450 bucks.

There's a big difference between Hahn quality and other brands.

I would like to see a core of 28*8*2.5 inches. That way it isnt TOO big and it fills the entire lower grille. If you can put some really good bends on the entrys and exits, like crazysteves or hahns, then it would be perfect

take the stock core size... with curved metal endtanks would be good. The stock intercooler does a good job actually... just needs some further help!

But I love my Synapse Intercooler just wish it fit just a little better!

I've been thinking about getting an ic and since your in Canada it would be even better price wise. I'd just like an IC that could handle 400-450hp and be a direct bolt in as a stock replacement. I don't know enough about them to give dimensions.

S-max and the crazy steeve products still use ebay cores... with fancy end tanks and C02 fittings...

Atleast HAHN and Synapse used high end cores like Garrett. I pick quality over it's bells and whistles anyday!

Although I still feel Hahns mill is still just a bit too big for our little turbo....

We are looking to use high quality cores, like a HKS core. nothing cheap. but we are going to keep prices low, not marked up rediculous like hahns.

our intercoolers will be primarly used towards our turbo kits, but since we get cores at a realitivly cheap price, might as well make some for stock turboed LNF's

The stock intercooler is pretty efficiant for the stock turbo. We need a intercooler for the big turbo LNFs.

Offer something that is larger than stock, and will keep pressure drop to a minimum for the stock turbo.

Like blueberry said, the good I/C's are too big for the stock turbo really.

And anyone saying the crazy steve I/C is good is on crack
