Um, I believe this topic has been discussed in other threads. The consensus around here is: Don't Get It.

LOL im not gonna diss them because ive heard they are decent for a N/A motor on the drag strip... you can take off the plexiglass shield to give it kinda a true ram air effect....
but i just hate how they look..... it looks like your a turbo wanna be! and anyone that doesnt know what a intercooler looks like... well im gonna be nice so_______________

if you want that turbo LOOK then buy a real turbo intercooler and piping and then just put a filter on the very end on the drivers side hidden behind the bumper

It's actually a great idea but the fact they are made to look like an intercooler makes them stupid and poser-like. However, If you were to get one with a black or grey filter and then paint the entire part that's visible from the front of the car flat black, it wouldn't be so bad.

well for a stock motor its no better than a cheapie SRI intake...


and YES THE PAINTING IT BLACK sounds like a great idea to hide it.... and you dont have to paint the filter just paint the plexiglass that goes over the front of the filter
