get the dimensions, then go walk out to your car with the tape measure and scope it out. Prob gotta cut something, that thing looks massive.

I've got the medium (600hp) one from Precision. it's the same size end to end, it's just taller. mine fit with modifications........ i removed the bumper support, and cut a hole in the sheet metal to the right of the radiator. my setup was completely custom, so you may route your piping differently. the first pic shows my intercooler hanging down a lot further than where i actually mounted it. where i actually mounted it- the blue connector hose on the left sits up against that silver cannister, not allowing it to go any higher. you will have to cut out the bottom of your bumper to fit the bigger intercooler cause it will hang down more (if you are using stock bumper.) hope these pics help.

i got to looking at the pic you posted of the bigger one, and i see that it wouldn't hang any lower than mine, but rather move the extra up higher. i think this wouldn't be possible without removing a lot of stuff and modifying unecessarily. i think you could turn it upside down though and it may work out.

if i were you i'd just get the medium one like i did. i doubt you are making over 600hp, but i could be wrong.

as you can see i had to cut up my front bumper a good bit to get the piping to fit. i think i went a little overboard, you can see where i cut too far on the left. you may be able to rig up a way to do it to where you can keep the black things that cover the holes, but they will be severely cut up on the inside. no....i take that back, i don't think you could keep them at all, at least mounting the ic where i did.

dude, driving without the fron bumper support will flex ur chassis like crazy, the maing reason why the support is there is for bracing. U should fabricate some kind of metal bar or something to brace it SOON!!

Haha damn. You really did cut that thing! I had to cut mine a bit too, but you really went to work on it.

To the orginal poster: I'm sure you can make it fit. Anything will fit with enough work.

You are going to have to remove your front bumper support to fit the bigger Precision intercooler. I'm running the midsize (600hp) one and cut about 2" into the bumper support. I was thinking of running the bigger one but I still wanted to retain my bumper support so the bumper doesn't sag. I also have a 5th gen prelude.
