intercooler options?

I have done some mods, intake, downpipe, and charge pipes, and am looking to get a bigger fmic so i can get ready for tuning. Im currently considering wagner or helix.

the wagner is listed for around $450 and the helix around $599.

whats your guys opinions on these parts? Any other part suggestions?

I have a Wagner knock-off from Ebay, and it works just fine. Cost was about $250 back when I bought it. Nothing wrong with Ebay coolers, as long as they don't leak...

i have the $450 Wagner street FMIC. Fit is excellent. Works as it should and did not require any modifications during install. As long as you’re not tracking your car, the street should be plenty over the competition.

not saying an eBay wouldn’t work but at 450 it’s a no brainer.
