I bought mine form a guy that said he had it custom made to fit the 5th Gen bumper opening. I've not tried to fit it yet, but it looks pretty good.
Overall: 33.5"
Core: 25x8x2.75
In/out: 2.5"
Has 3 threaded holes on top and 3 on bottom. Comes with mounting hardware.

I would say mine fits a 5th gen but it tooke me a little bit of work and basically cutting the front crash beam in half.

How far are you willing to go to fit an intercooler?

Whatever it takes. I too would like to know about fogs. I haven't test fitted mine yet, but will I be able to keep fogs?

i mean what ever it takes but i am sure there is plenty of room up there to get a nice sized intercooler in there its just a matter of knowing what size.
