I just mounted an HKS intercooler with custom piping on my swapped 3S-GTE. It's not running yet, so I can't vouch for performance. I think the GReddy looks better and is a tad bit cheaper. There's got a be a reason why more people have GReddy front mounts and not HKS, I think the price is the main reason.

Yeah I'd performance is the same. But I just went with the one that matched my other things in my RX and that was Greddy. I had Greddy everything else pretty much...like turbo timer, boost controller, BOV, etc. I just went for the whole shibang. All up to you..sorry we didn't make ur decision easier!

IMO Spearco makes the best intercoolers. They are the best engineered out of all the ICs I've seen. They also make a BUNCH of different size cores if you have an interest in fabricating your own IC. Thats what I plan on doing.

If you want an intercooler that fits perfectly on our cars and has kind of a low profile look hit this guy up on aol... TJN115.. there might be a space inbetween the N and 1 but cant remember.. he make intercoolers outta greddy cores and they fit perfectly with the invader front with only about 3 min of mods to the air damn.. I am not sure for other kits or stock but would assume that it would be the same... the nice thing about this intercooler is that it can be mounted to the front bumper support beam and with the invader kit all you see is the core not the intercooler.. best part.. there like 230-250 for the them. the dimensions are 30x6x2.5 and the endtanks are just a little taller and wider. I cant go on enuf about this intercooler for the 6gc.. for other apps I probably wouldnt recomend it but for the 6gc its perfect.
The only complaint I have about it is that it didnt come with that "Bling Bling" kinda look but that was fine with me cuz I was gonna powder coat it newayz, which looks awesome by the way. I have to take some photos of it to show someone how to modify there invader front air dam to fit the front bumper so I will proabably take some new photos of it and if I do I will post them here --------------------  99 project version 3.0.. hello SEMA 2010 =) |

My HKS intercooler fits only because I have the front reinforcement removed and the ViS front bumper. I don't think it would fit the stock bumper as it is a tad bit too big. But they offer many sizes as do the other brands. I was going to get a Spearco myself, you can find them pretty cheap...especially on Ebay.
