general feeling is that ebay parts for boost is a poor idea, unless its used or resold brand name stuff

I would have to say the only thing I like about that is the bead rolled ends.
Usually ebay piping has a very thin wall and will somtimes bend / collapse with any substantial clanping force.
I would know this from first and expierence.
I would also say that intercooler is a little small, lol its the same size as my old one!

If your talking about a 'kit' you wont find an intercooler kit for our cars. You have to MAKE it.

It's ok to get an intercooler off of ebay, just make sure they are the one's with the core bars in them(the solid lines that go across the intercooler)

I dont know about a stock srt-4 IC, up to you.

OEM makes the spacers for that HO 2.3 intake. Check the Performance forum.

BAHAHAHHAHAHAHAAHAHAAHAHAHAA

its a good price... until you look at the ridiculous shipping charges. im sorry but it does not cost no $125 bucks to ship some aluminum piping and an aluminum intercooler.

fail.
