The pipes will be fine it's the flow rate of cooler that would concern me but I have used Chinese front mounts before and they have been OK.

Sold in this country but I suspect manufactured in China.

Trust me, they may appear simple in construction, but there is a lot of physics involved and you do get what you pay for in terms of quality with bar/plate Intercoolers. If you are interested this is actually a very good read - http://www.gnttype.org/techarea/turbo/intercooler.html
