Did you cut into your bumper support?

I would cut the bumper support, I would rather have a scratched up bumper than risk putting a hole in the bottom of the intercooler. Just cut the shape of the intercooler on the bumper support. People do take the whole thing out.

how much more unsafe would it be to take out the whole bumper support?
