So someone is having this stepped core intercooler made in China, it looks like a copy of the Cobb kind of.

It looks like they are also adding an option to have connectors to the OEM piping if you want to make the install easier.

I'm guessing one of our vendors sent a cobb to China and got it replicated, I look forward to seeing if anyone starts selling this soon, the cost price is cheaper then ebay stuff.

Please excuse me if I'm making assumptions but that's definitely not ours. The only reason I say this is because we have a thread right above this one talking about our stepped core.

It looks like the end tanks are a Cobb duplicate if those pics are accurate although if they are accurate, the OP is incorrect about the OEM connectors. Either way, end tanks are a small part of how the intercooler performs, the fin pack is the most vital component which is generally overlooked by the ebay no names.

I have a family business that exports car parts to USA so we have tons of links with shops and I'm Good friends with the biggest shop for BMW's in Taiwan and they know where all the vendors get their parts since the shops sell them locally as well.
A lot of the shops talk amongst eachother and when they get a request to copy a part from an American vendor they let the major tuner shops know that they have access to that part now.

So basically, my buddies shop got a message saying, if you need these American intercoolers for a hundred bucks or so, we have the jig to make them now.

Never tried to imply it was yours at all, that would be pointless. Fin packs definitely are very important and ETS has the best I've seen so far.

Wasn't trying to insinuate anything. I am all for companies making new products. It means competition and lower prices for us. Sorry if it seemed if I was hinting to something.

Also very excited to see your new line up of products
