More info from the seller:

This auction is for a BAR AND PLATE race intercooler. The core size of this intercooler is 24 X 6.5 X 3.5 The endtank to endtank size is 30X6.5X3.5 The overall size(including spouts) is 33.5x6.5x3.5. The inets are 2.5 inches in diameter. The endtank to endtank measurement is listed in the auction title as it's the most important when trying to fill the front mouth of your vehicle. This intercooler is rated for 585HP and less than 0.8psi. pressure drop @20psi. It's superior BAR AND PLATE design enables it to outperform much larger tube and fin intercoolers by as much as 35%. The endtanks are cast aluminum. The intercooler is 100% T.I.G. welded by our master welder (former ROLLS ROYCE chief welder!!!!) Absolute lowest pressure drop and high heat dissapation are the two most important design features that were considered when these cores were engineered. This is the best price anywhere for an american made intercooler of this quality.
