maaaaaaaany people cut out the whole back off the bumper to fit an intercooler.

you can pretty much fit as big of an IC as your application needs.

you dont need something that can handle 450 HP if you're only boosting 300.

i agree with micael, get a intercooler to what fits your needs. Getting one to big can also hurt your gains.

You're supposed to shop for an intercooler based on flow, not physical size.

Exactly. Get one that is based on your setup, don't get one based on the bling factor.
