you will probably need to notch the bumper support.... atleast this makes mounting MUCH easier.

31x8x3.5 I believe. It's the medium sized Precision "600hp" intercooler.

There is just no room to mount an intercooler of this size while still keeping the bumper support, unless you hack up the support. It was just easier for me to take the support out. Plus it's a track only car too.

it depends on your intercooler. It looks like his has those tabs cast in so it'd be a good idea to use them but there really is no wrong way as long as it's sturdy.

Here's mine. I got the idea from a setup posted on HT a few years ago; can't remember who's actually. If you know who, please give props.
