Depending on he placement of the intercooler and were the outlet will exit, you may have to trim or cut out the core support OR you may be able to get away with re-position the radiator to clear the intercooler pipe. Obviously you will have to use a backdoor style intercooler to make this work..

what is that equation right there??

I'm assuming 2" OD piping with ~.25" sidewall

so ID is ~1.57???

please explain... I have access to .125" sidewall piping so this equation would then change??

2" OD with a 0.25" wall will give you 1.50" ID +/- 0.010".

Don't really know where that equation is coming from to get area, because equation for the area of a circle is not that.

A = (pi)r^2

Funny thing is that it still comes out to be the same number, lol.

.25" wall!!! That's ****ing huge! Aluminum IC piping is .0625" (1/16" or 16ga).

2" pipe is not 2" OD. 2" tube is 2" OD.

thats what I was thinking, since I have 1/8" side wall sitting right here and havent seen anything larger, I'm trying to figure out what that equation is for...

1.57 * 2 = 3.14 sq in

3.9740625 sq in = 1.98703125 x 2

5.9365625 sq in = 2.96828125 x 2

7.065 sq in = 3.5325 x 2
