I think you just doubled the weight of your chassis sitting there. ---

IMO there’s no point in running a giant intercooler unless you actually need it - all you’re doing is making it take longer to hit full boost so it’s silly unless you genuinely need that large of an intercooler and you are modifying the front end to actually take advantage of it. A stock front end, even a chopped up one, is only going to expose like 50% of that thing at best, making it superfluous and probably even detrimental to your engine’s performance. ---

Am I the only one who thinks its not really a big intercooler? It just looks sorta big because the crx is so small. ---

Hey that intercooler and pipe looks familiar! Just because its not 100% visable to “fresh” air does not mean that its not disapating heat. Here is how I rocked mine ![http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e342/nitroice40/DSCN0436.jpg](http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e342/nitroice40/DSCN0436.jpg) ---

looks good to me man, i know a few ppl who ran that core off ebay. It works well i personally had it on till i upgraded to a 4 inch core like previously stated. It held great for me at 30 psi on a 35R just my 2 cents ---
