Name this intercooler

So while removing my undercar shield to install my VRSF 5" intercooler, I was welcomed by a surprise. An aftermarket intercooler!

The car is relatively new to me, and was sold as stockish, but after looking into it you could tell that it had been modded; missing brackets, different fasteners, etc. Also a Burger oil cooler and catch can which was obvious.

Notable features are plate welded end tanks as opposed to cast. Stock clip style connectors and also a welded duct in the front to meet with the front bumper.

Thanks for everyone's help.

Maybe ARM? It uses stock couplers so that makes it easier to identify.

I agree. I have a Dinan and it looks similar. Carefully inspect the oil lines, one of mine was leaking at the fitting and closer inspection revealed it was cracked. I found some old posts where someone else that had the Dinan IC and lines had the same issue. Not a good failure.

I think we have a winner! There is some faded stenciling on the front, and this looks really similar. Thanks for sleuthing.
