Two words: Custom Piping.

Lol, actually I don't know...I'd say it depends on the type of intercooler, dimensions, etc, etc.

4. Custom Piping!

All i need to know is when people put a fmic on do they usually leave the support on or off i dont have to worry about the piping i can mod all that. i just want to find out if i should leave it off. I think it might be a liitle dangerous to take it off but if i have to then i will.

I wouldn't take off the rad support... If you get hit in the front its over... You should try to get an intercooler thin enough to fit under it... what are your dimensions

wait woah... you cant take out the whole radiator support no!! you'll need to remove the front bumper support (will not go back in, or fit around it)

I hope you were talking about the bumper support. The radiator support should not be modified, unless your trying some SCC IC in front of the radiator scheme, in which you may need to do some modding. But a regular FMIC install should not require the cutting of the rad. support.

HOLY CRAP!!!

ok, the metal bumper support. that has to come out or you can cut it but it wont save you if you crash.

the radiator support is NOT the big metal thing behind the bumper. so dont worry about that part. take off your bumper, take out the bumper foam(throw that away) and take out the big metal thing behind that.)throw that away or sell it.

Done.
