u know my input on this mike. dont waste your money on that thing, its useless..

get the BR race FMIC, i can modify the front crash beam to fit if youd like. its very easy to get it to fit. BR FTW, well because u know my car and the numbers dont lie.

Bad idea....your insurance won't cover your car repairs if you ever get into a frontal collision....I installed the ets 4in core without spacers but I had to smash down the lip around the air inlets on the crash bar which touched the ic seems you could just grind them flat and this would work as well.

Sent you a PM but yes it will fit, its almost the same dimensions of the AMS intercooler which is one of the few that fits too. I'm running the cusco power brace and the CXRacing 20"core front mount.

It won't fit. You need to run an intercooler with a smaller core. We had to make a special version to allow the cusco bar to fit.

The std core is 24" wide, the cusco core is 20"

Thanks,

Michael
