Default Biggest FMIC you can fit?

What is the largest front mount intercooler you can fit on an Integra without major modification? There is one right now on eBay that is 24x12x3. It looks too tall to me. What do you all think?

Bigger doesn't necessarily mean better..
The bigger the i/c the more pressure drop you may experience. And depending on your goals, you may not need one that big anyway. An 8x22 PWR can support close to 500whp.

I knew intercooler but I typed intake. My mistake. However I would still like to know the largest dimensions I can stuff in there w/o having to hack much.

"Here we go...." Where are we going? It was a simple mistake that I typed intake instead of intercooler and I have edited it.

The only reason to get the biggest one is for show or HUGE hp. don't waste your money and sacrafice safety by cutting your bumper support. the bigger the internal volume of your IC and piping the worse your boost reponse will be.
