2J Racing intercooler

[STjake]

Hey everyone! I've come acrosss what seems like a great deal on a 2J intercooler for my st. I've done a good bit of research, and have found some less than stellar reviews. Things like poor welds, poor performance, or just all around dissatisfaction. My question is for anyone who has run this intercooler, will it work just as good or possibly better than the Cobb intercooler so I can run stage 2? I don't track my car, I don't abuse it on the highways, I basically just do a few back road pulls and typical spirited driving. If the intercooler looks "ugly" it's not a deal breaker, but the last thing I want is to hurt my car. Thanks everyone!

I think that the showstopper was that it just wasn't fitting properly - it hit the crash bar. 2J has been trying to dump those things for at least a couple of months.

For the money there are much better deals out there. Grab a Depo Racing/MTC and call it a day.

I just installed one, it was a piece of cake. I did loosen the crossmember to get things were i wanted but everything fit fine. I read all the negative comments too but for under $500 for an intercooler and downpipe it was too good to pass up.

Thanks for the heads up Ron! I actually just bought a cp-e rear mount from you last week, and I'm hoping to get it installed this weekend. And for everyone else, thank you for your thoughts!

This is the way to go. I'd stay away from 2j racing. I believe I heard they wanted out of the First market after the drama with this part.

Anytime - I appreciate that, thank you
Just as an opinion
If you can't go cp-e which obviously I'd suggest, I'd go MTC based on what I've seen between cost and size.

I'd stay away, it's been discussed. The depo/MTC is you best bang for the buck ic

Well you may have just changed my mod plans, I may bump up the IC before my CBE.

How is the Depo racing IC? I was thinking about buying it.
