Any info at how long the group buy price will sit at? Curious to see how much time I have to pay for it... I just paid off credit cards and it feels so good T_T.

It won't feel as good as the ETS TMIC on your RDX.
It is a two month build once everyone has paid in full.

Built to order

Dont forget guys, each intercooler is built to order so if you want any custom tweaks, contact ETS and specify before you pay.

As is my case I'm getting the mounting points for the engine cover removed, and anodized black aluminum. I also requested the ETS badge be painted on the intercooler core, I personally think it looks sharp; and no harm in representing a company worthy.

Curious, does the plastic cover offer anything (protection)? And if you anodized the intercooler, will it affect the performance of it?

The plastic cover.. well, its just a plastic cover. It will protect the intercooler from the curious hands wanting to bend the core fins, anything beyond that no. In my opinion its actually trapping in engine heat & consolidating that heat around the intercooler.

Anodizing is a reacted finish that is integrated with the underlying aluminum, If any at all, it only incrementally increases the aluminums strength.

Anodizing will allow for ease of maintenance in regards to cleaning bugs, oil, and grease; as it essentially seals the raw aluminum.

In reality, increased cosmetics is our true goal when anodizing an intercooler, and most engine-bay components.

Thanks for the link, I was going through the buying process. But it's trying to charge me for shipping. Is there a code I have to use in order to receive free shipping price at $599?

Thanks in advance.

http://www.extremeturbosystems.com/R...Top-Mount.html

List Price $800+

Discount with FIVE buyer commitments will be $599 Shipped. If we can score more then Five people the discount has potential to be even sweeter. ETS is a very reputable performance company, and this is a solid mod for the RDX.

So, Lets get the ball rolling.

Not that its a big deal but it did say $599 shipped. If its a misunderstanding then I dont really care.

I'll be going through my emails with ETS to make sure it was not a mistake on my part. I also thought $600 included shipping.

I was trying to relay info, not mist inform anyone.

So I guess we just need 1 more since the thread starter has paid and we can close this thing and start production.

The original post says 5. And if more the discount might be cheaper. So if we already paid would they refund some possibly?

^ That is very true. If we get even a better price I wouldn't mind, but the price we got it at is still sweet. It would just counter the options I had done to it :P
