It's a 5" Stepped Intercooler, so it's got more "core" than a 5" but prob not as much as a 7". The only thing you need to watch out with used ICs is if the fins are excessively damaged & if oil has contaminated the core (clogs it up, lowers efficiency)
Since when does being stepped add core to the IC? :s

From what I understand it being stepped or not is a design for cooling efficiency and has nothing to do with volume of core....

At least that's what I gather from all these convos....seems to be common sense anyways
