i know u get what u pay for but the greddy ones iv seen are like 800-1k for just the intercooler i dont mind spending a lil bit of money but dam for my goals that just seems a lil ridiculous and id kinda like a black one so it dont stick out to much not that it matters i just dont like bling bling

The old "YGWYPF" doesn't apply to intercoolers, in my experience. Get an ebay one that fits, from a reputable seller with lots of feedback, and rock it.

For 300whp, you won't need a big one, and even if you don't find a black one, you can paint a silver one with radiator paint.

Yeah, yeah, I hear everyone already freaking out "OMG don't paint an intercooler WTFBBQ!" Shut it. He's not building a 1200whp Godzilla. Paint isn't going to affect it one bit. :)
