I just wanted to see for the guys who know anything about these OBX intercoolers, if they are any good, what cores are used to make them and if anyone has got any results with one yet. I would like to get one because the price is right, thanks

Do a search of the last 3-4pages in the Forced Induction section.
I think the build quality is pretty damn good for such a cheap unit. Mine should be installed on Thursday. I have one sitting in the back seat of my truck right now
There is a guy with an F-Body and an ATI kit running 15psi and his IATs are generally around 100deg. He swapped out the stock twin ICs from the ATI kit for the OBX IC and he gained 5psi, retuned and gained 7mph without any other changes.
I hope to get some real #s here next weekend with this IC since my STS kit is creating some wicked high IATs at higher boost levels.

thanks, for the info F8L. I think i am just going to buy one and use it but i am sure a lot of guys including myself would be interested in your results. How are you going to mount your intercooler in the truck, because they are kind of large.

They measure 30.5"L x 13"H x 3"D These are the total measurments from end to end and bolt to bolt..
We have plenty of room under the truck under the radiator there is a big frame rail that it can me mounted to slightly tilted and still have lots of airflow. I wont know exactly where it is gonna go till we start messing with it but I'll be sure to bring my camera and takes pics and get measurements of the tubing needed for those interested in doing something similar.
