Default charge piping with ek jdm fogs in the way

The search feature is temporarily out of service so... I have a 2000 civic coupe w/ the jdm (or optional) foglights and i'm throwing a fit trying to get the charge piping to fit behind there. where it can't... has anyone ever figured out how to run the charge piping b4 or have pics of some one that has? thanks

Yea, run the IC pipes over the fogs, and flip the IC, so the endtanks stay on top.

Make **** happen. I'm using DRAG piping and intercooler. Also, I had to mod the fog light brackets to make it fit. It was minor... maybe next time I pull off my bumper I will take some pictures.

I was told as long as the endtanks are not in the middle of the IC you should be able to run fogs....Is that tru?

This has been covered too many times already. You get an intercooler with offset inlets and either run the piping under the fog lights and bend away the long bracket or you flip it upside down and run them over the fogs. Remove your bumper and you will see how it works.

Pretty much. With my intercooler I had to use washers to drop it about half and inch so it sits lower and clears the fog light brackets 100%.

I've never seen the intercooler flipped upside down, but I would imagine that it requires custom piping to be made.

Yeah, if its in the middle then it is a very big problem. I forgot what the deminsions on the drag intercooler were, but I know the inlet/outlet is 2.25/2.5. Unlike most intercoolers that are either 2.25, 2.5, or even 3".
