I know that Duane might not be making them anymore and that his service with getting people the ducts hasn't been stellar....

But for some reason, I really like the way it looks and fits in the engine bay...

I know this maybe mout if he isn't supplying them anymore but I was wondering on the pressure drop and other experiences from current owners

There have been a lot of posts on this intercooler. Do searches under CWC, CWR, and Crooked Willow.

Its a lot of work and does not fit as advertised if you read the description on CWR's web site. The IC fits nice but the duct was a half-designed piece. This duct could have easily been designed to fit without relocating everything in the front end of the car.

For my installation using an M2 intake box, the supplied pipe from turbo to IC wouldn't work and even the mini-battery (Hawker PC680) must be relocated since this airbox shifts the IC core to the left side. I had to relocate the relay box but didn't have to extend any wires. Koyo radiator has to be repositioned along with the condenser.
