Though it's for a probe/mx6/626, it looks like the IC will fit if that's overall size AND that's a lot of mandrel bends for the price, even if it's mild steel- ad doesn't say.

on it like spandex pants

Must have a few...

same seller.

it seriously does look like it would fit minimal effort. heck the hotside pipes look nearly identical to mine.

too bad it's all 2.5" piping. but not a bad little kit for $150.

Other than the coldside, it looks great.

Doesn't look like a long enough radius in the bend to go around the radiator and condenser and still have room for airflow behind it. Could be wrong though.

$50 Shipping!

Yes- so all that for $70 total. I think that's a steal. A few cuts and couplers could make this work in a Miata IMO. Oh- and that intercooler has some nice shaped end tanks on it for the core shape.

Whoever picked that up, looks like a pretty good deal...just cut, some couplers, and bam. FMIC.

more w/o reserve

I picked it up...but before seeing that ridiculous shipping fee.

Either way it still comes out to $70, and I've got more to work with.

This is certainly a lot easier than chasing down whatever I might be missing on a 14yr old kit.

I imagine a little cutting and coupling will definitely make it work.

I'd prefer 3" pipes that aren't ceramic coated.

But, for the price that last one went for.... It would be hard to pass up.

Considering that what I have now is 1.75", this will be an upgrade. I didn't plan on doing it for a few months when I upgraded the compressor, but I'll admit it was an impulse buy.

3" charge pipes? who needs velocity....

I paid $150 for my Intercooler alone, from CXRacing, same Intercooler, just not polished. and no XSPOWER logo, that mush be good for. . what? 3 more hp? :greddy:
These are actually really nice.
Fits Great in the mouth of my NB,
Killer buy.

(quick mock up with string, only pic I have at work)

I ended up picking one of these up for $71 shipped.

Arrived with a piece of crap, dented, 3" inlet/outlet, tube & fin intercooler.

Complained to the seller, no response to two emails over four days. Filed paypal dispute, that got his attention.

The replacement intercooler arrived today. It's perfect, 2.5" inlet/outlet, bar & plate- same as in auction picture. Cancelled the dispute.

It also came with a pair of 2.5" silicone couplers; nice bonus.

Took some battling, but it's a great value.

I am currently working on the same battle.

Hopefully he will start shipping them right the first time.

did you have to return the dented IC?

Post up some pics when you get around to the install.

these are still coming up without reserve

Probably because you're going to get a POS intercooler shipped to you, then have to battle with them to get the right one sent to you.
