Intercoolers and Ebay....

Have any of you guys gone to ebay for an intercooler? if so, are the deals worth getting? Just curious if an $89 intercooler is any good?

Yes they work actually. I had gotten one for my DSM and it worked perfect.

Look for Johnny Racecar brand intercoolers. You do get what you pay for, but JR is pretty good stuff.

many people from wrx forums purchased their intecoolers from ebay and they seem fairly satified. Then again you can't expect them to be as durable and the quality to be as good as name brand intecoolers.

Ive seen 700-900 hp F/I LSx series engines using them. They are very popular among the F-body and vette crowd. Hell there is a shop Exotic Performance plus or somethign like that, that works on everything from grand ams to ferraris and Ive seen them install ebay intercoolers on very high Hp cars.

I figure they'll be ok. If I build me a custom kit I'll be buying an eBay intercooler. I just dont see the value in buying some $300+ intercooler.

I like the way 4 people voted against them but only one expressed his reasons. Which was, you get what you pay for. Not really much concrete info behind that. I think on a matter like this whoever votes against them should atleast give reasons.
