Be careful when buying or dealing with them, they have not the best businness practices, I got burned with a chrono gauge,check the Rennlist thread "Got Ripped by BlownSix", I will not deal with them, just my 2 cents., cheers, Sonny.

There actually marketing them on ebay also at $1,885

Evoms look the nicest quality but the P car tax is quite high @ @2800 and i don,t see the difference.

Anyone have any knowledge of the core quality vs. Evoms?

They are a great value, Work well and you wont feel like you got raped. I cant speak for dealing with them via the web, but they are local to me so didn't need to web order. The GT2 and these ICs are noting a like. I can’t speak for these VS the EVO's I haven’t had an EVO in my hand.

I have them and like the quality. For the money it is a great deal. I bought mine off ebay as well and although they took a bit to arrive they are a good product. Good luck.

I just had a new set installed in my car a few weeks ago and really like them. Paul from Proto commented that they looked just as good as the EVO ones. I took the money I saved and had Paul fab up some custom piping. From what I understand they redesigned the end tank connectors ( I think that's what they are called)

On a side note does anyone have information regarding some of their new products? Y-pipe and intake plenium?

factory 996GT2 intercoolers are not worth the ups money and labor to put them on
Blown 6 and EVOMS are better solutions; you have to pay to play.

EVOM intercoolers have bigger outlets and allow you to use real hose clamps on them. There was a good thread about 6 months ago describing all of the differences between the two. I think the EVOM ones use a more efficient "bar" core style and the endtanks are more efficient. Just the hose clamp thing sold me, but I'm sure the Blown6 ones are 99% as good in real-life otherwise. Good luck, it's a big improvement either way over the stockers or the GT2's.

DynamicMotoring is infamous around these parts
Ive seen both, but only installed Evos. The Blown Six are nice, but just not as nice.

Woodster said what I always like to use, youve gotta pay to play.

I have them, too. No complaints - very well made. I fabbed the ends for hose clamp connection like str8blst had done.

Do they fit the existing Plastic inlet and outlet shielding OK or is there fitment issues??

They look like they have the OEM style snap ring connectors. Are you saying these have failure and to modify the ends and use regular high quality hose clamps??

Anyone have pics to share??
