Whats a good intercooler?

I'm on the market for an inner cooler for my 335I, I don't know any brands of inner cooler but active auto werkes. Is that the way to go? or is there better ones out?

Check out the Active Autowerke Intercooler we carry, definitely a worthwhile upgrade and Active has a great reputation as a BMW tuner.
