Thread: Intercooler questions

I just bought one from Advance Auto. Doubt they'll replace a two year old part.

From advanced auto? That's what's crazy to my they cost so much and it just looks like a heater core inside.

It is a heater core. You're paying for the research and development, along with the machining of the aluminum plates.

Yeah seems way over priced like everything else lol

I had a WBS store IC core leak too. It was just a pinhole leak causing the coolant to disappear. Eventually I started getting white smoke out the tailpipe.

It's a Spectra brand heater core from a 1990's Ford Probe. Way cheaper at Rockauto, Autozone, etc.

Machining not cheap ya kno, plus like squid said your paying for there research, as the saying goes you gotta pay to play

Machining and research makes sense when talking about the entire IC setup. But if you are just talking about the core, it's $150 from the vendor or ~$50 from RockAuto for the exact same part.

Yup classic ZZP, markert something as there own when in reality a good chuck of what they sell can be had through rock auto or the parts store for a fraction of what they charge
