Default Who has a eg with a huge intercooler without hacking up the bumper?

I already did a search and most of the bumpers are all hack up. I have a freshly painted bumper that I don't won't to cut. I will be using the precision 700hp intercooler.


Thanks,
June

youre gonna have to hack up the bumper support, and possibly other things behind it in order to save the bumper cover from being cut...

I don't care about the bumper support. I just want to keep my bumper looking good.

It's going to be hard. I've got a 8x20x2.5 core and I had to ditch the support, gut the back of the bumper skin, and actually notch the bumper skin where the charge pipe elbows come around.

The Honda bumper cover was never made to support it originally.. As others have said, it is going to be down right improbable to do.. Maybe not impossible, but HIGHLY Improbable..

I think I may be watching too much Star Trek.

I have a pretty big intercooler on my car and I can say that you are probably going to have to cut grills out to fit it in there.... mine is 32"x14"x3" and is mounted as far back to the radiator support that it can go and I am pushing it on mine... here are some pics with the bumper on and off

You know what's funny I'm going with a full-race top mount manifold with 4 inch downpipe also. Your set-up looks great!!

You think I could fit the same intercooler you have under that bumper without cutting those grills?

Just take your time and it will look clean...either way you want as much air gettin to the fmic and at the same time it looks intimidating if you have to cut the grill out
ps start thiniking about relocatin that licence plate too

Yeah I hear you on that. Plates were from the old owner. I'm in Pa which doesn't require plates on the front.
