While it's a good intercooler, I fricken HATE the company that built it.  They screwed me so badly, I refuse to do anymore business with them or give them any free advertising.  I will say that Griffin and this other co claim the same effeicency with thier cores.  I went with the other co for time and cost.  They said they could deliver the custom intercooler in a few days, but when it arrived (and I had it 2-day aired for something ridiculous like $85) the end tanks were wrong.  So when I called them to tell them they made a mistake, they wouldn't own up to it.  It was a battle to get them to take it back and build me the proper one.  Then I had to pay for shipping to get it out to them, and pay for shipping to get the correct one sent back to me.  So in total I paid close to $200 for shipping for a $450 intercooler and had to wait a few weeks. 
 
When my Griffin rad showed up, it had the wrong size outlet, 1 & 3/4" as opposed to 1 & 1/2. When I called them, they were all set to take it back, pay for the shipping and expedite a new one to me.  They were so helpful on a rad that they would have a VERY hard time reselling (where as the intercooler was basically a generic front mount setup) that I decided to see if I could stretch a hose over the outlet.  I could and kept the rad to sort of help them out.  Honestly, since I can't completely remove the name from the intercooler (which I specifically asked them NOT to spraypaint on) the last thing that I'll probable do is replace the intercooler that I have with one grom Griffin, or just buy a Garret or Spearco core and fab my own tanks.  But if you're looking for a good intercooler, I'd go strait to Griffin.

 That's good to know because they are on my "parts list" for my rad and IC when I finally get around to my V/H-mount setup when I upgrade to a bigger turbo.
