I don't really care if the knock off flows worse than the real one or not as I am only going to go stage one. I might even just get a OE Nissans one from rock auto for $150.
Yea that's the same as the g-plus, just without the g-plus branding. Probably from the same factory. Are you sure that's the intercooler losing the fins? IIRC, the intercooler doesn't directly face the exterior, I think that might be the radiator losing its brains.

Edit: That's the radiator (edit: jk it's the ac condenser), you can see the stock intercooler behind it in your picture. Stock intercooler has those thick ass bars between the plates.

Edit 2: The M sport retrofit they sell from ebay isn't quite complete. It's missing the foam absorber, p/n 51117903993. Base one is a bit thicker and might cause a large bumper-to-hood panel gap.

Edit: Probably the AC condenser based on what others have said.
