Always been suspect on these IC\'s...... Why have an IC that fits behind the rad, any performance gain to be had with a larger IC would be lost....... probably worse than the OEM ones as there is no cold air getting to them???

Personaly I wouldn\'t bother with this, you would be better off buying an IC by itself, mount it in a well cooled area and pop down to any stainless exhaust manufacturer to get the pipe work all manderel bent and custom fitted!!!

Not saying you selling them, just that these have been around for a long time and many guys in here use these with very good results...   Just nothing new with these really!
 I would say it\'s fantastic value for money as it\'s all there and easy to drop in  even for a novice!

 I myself have something similar, I have \'This\'. (http://www.rx7store.net/product_p/aspmedium.htm)
 Paid alot more as you can see... but looking at the XS ones, it looks like it\'s ones like mine that they copied and flogging them far cheaper..
 Naturally using inferior materials and core design, but none the less good value for money I suppose.....
