Default drag intercooler mounting question

Does anyone have pics of how they mounted theirs? I searched and see that I will have to cut the bumper support and relocate the horns and bend the cooler lines out of the way. Just wanted to get some pics so i know what I need to do. I already have the bumper off and just need to mount the damn thing. Thanks guys.

Did you have to cut the bumper support? With preludes that whole bumper support comes out when you take the bumper out. Right now I am trying to figure where I should mount it. Again from what I read i will have to cut the bumper support and relocate the horn and cooler lines.

i'd like to see too . people from drag are absolutely no help, never respond to emails

do you have gen 4 kit for 5th gen lude?
if so, i'm about to mount mine. there is a hole above the power steering cooler line in the center . it mounts there. it is supposed to stand out enough to clear the ps lines but i dont think it will, will likely need a spacer or something to cushion it. also need to cut the hole bigger where the charge pipe needs to go through

Its for a drag 4 and it going into a 4th gen. But I think I have that hole too thats how come I kinda want to see how people mounted it and if they moved their horns and/or ps cooler.

I want to see t hat too because i think it can be done with just opening that hole and leaving the ps cooler lines where they are.

The bracket for the PS cooler is bent straight and the cooler is moved to behind the hood latch support. The bumper support does not have to be cut.
