Default Whats this intercooler?

Well i guess i made a mistake. I got an intercooler from Jonas and was soposed to be a BIG NPR. Well i looked it over and it looks damn close but i didnt measure anything. I guess my bad on trusting someones word. I asked him if i could get my money back and that didnt work even tho its not a NPR intercooler. Well from the measurements i got the large NPR intercooler should be 29 1/4" wide overall, from outside of the outlets.
2 3/4" outlets.
19 1/2" core width.
14 1/2" core height.
2" core thickness.

The one Jonas gave me is
25" wide overall, from outside of the outlets
2 inch OD outlets
15.5" core width
13.5" core height
2" core thickness

As you can see its a honest mistake as they are very close but its not what its sopsoed to be. What do you guys think. Here are some pics also to go along. Also i paid 200 dollars for it so if anyone wants it let me know!

There are 3 different NPR IC.

Small
Medium
Large

I'm not sure of the dimentions, but it looks like you have a large one.

I dont know if you guys noticed the dimentions? 29 and 25 is a big difference!!! From what im told there are only 2 intercoolers for the NPR both are about the same width but one is 8 inches tall and the other is 14.5.

liek stated above there are different sizes of NPR intercoolers... small medium and large iam guessing that main difference between them is the end tank inlet and outlet...but that doesnt mean that just because the inlets are different sizes does not mean it is not an NPR intercooler...

like everyone said there are different sizes of NPR intercoolers...
we were at midas man we do have tape measurers, we could have measured it if you wanted no one was rushing anyone... the thing that is just going through my head is that you were there to physically hold it and look at it all you wanted to etc etc and you purchased it so i mean...that is was is going through my head.

stop ur bitchin, that is a large NPR intercooler, ive seen tons of them on Z31's we use all 3 sizes.. Mine personally started as the one that you show the picture of, but the bottom 3 rows were chopped off to make it fit in my Z31... However we also have many other Z31's at 300+ rwhp on all sizes of npr IC.... Just have to cut the bumper to fit

Yeah dude, if you saw it physically and knew what it had to be there should be no problems. After all how big of a damn IC do you need? they are all basicly the same...
