I paid around $700 for it a year ago. I don't think it's such a bad price.
If I had wanted to go the custom Spearco or HKS route, it would have
been more AND I would have had to build/weld pieces. The stock
IC, from Saab, used to list for $800. The KJ is twice the IC (literally,
twice as thick AND with aluminum end-tanks), value-wise. Plus,
it's a very simple bolt-up procedure and looks completely stock.
If one were to mount it in front of the condenser, then there'll be
plenty of fitment issues, plus piping, both AC & IC, and AC fan
issues. Believe me, it works fine where it is. The air that flows
through the AC condenser doesn't gain much heat by the time it gets
to the IC - even during the summer, when the AC is actually running.
For the amount of work it would take to place the IC in a different
position, I'd wager the gains would be very marginal......just my $.02!
