yea, def. not ...but you can still cut it nice and will look good.

 

or u can just buy my old stock front bumper and use it for the intercooler, so u dont have to chop up your other one, lol track bumper, lol

 

that ic you listed will not fit without modification due to height. on my ek i run a precision 600hp 31 1/2" L x 8" H x 3 1/2" D with 2.75" in/out and it's a very tight fit. i still have my fog lights and my bumper support and no cutting to the bumper cosmetic wise. i did take off the lip on the inside on the bumper grill to clear the ic. i did have cutom pie cut 2.5" ic piping in and out with reducer couplers to fit for it, only notching the lower mount portion of the bumper support mounts to work with the fog lights. i'll take some pics later and post them if you want to see how it worked for me. looks real clean, i made it my choice to remove the bumper grill even though didn't have too.

 

i run a 27"x10"x4.75" Intercooler on my EK, back door on both ends.

 

what do u think is the biggest size i can go with then..

 

it depends on if you are willing to sacrifice. 32" is about maximum width to still run fogs with custom piping. you can do a taller ic but will sacrifice front end collision safety from severe notching or removal of the impact/support bar to allow airflow to the covered portion of the ic. my car is a street car so that is definitely out of the Q for me. i measured it out multiple times and this is what fit best and handled higher power. i dont have a pic with the support on, but will post some of the ic setup on.
