c32 amg intercooler a.k.a heat exchanger

wut up evry1..

i bought a 2002 c32 amg about 5 months ago with only 32k miles on it completely stock. im ready to put on some outside mods which consists of a RIEGER front bumper, RIEGER roof spoiler, LORINSER trunk spoiler and RENNtech springs. somehow i came across a c32 amg intercooler and figured out that if i add a bigger intercooler it significantly reduces intake charge temps. now, since the front bumper will be removed i might as well add a bigger intercooler since i do have plans for the engine in the future. the question im asking is, what brands out there are better than an AMG intercooler..? is it nessesary to change it if modifying engine..? I NEED HELP..!!! PLEASE SOMEONE..?

Intercooler and heat exchanger are 2 different parts of the puzzle. The piece located at the front of the car is the heat exchanger while the actual intercooler is sandwiched between the cylinder banks underneath the supercharger.
