BR race core intercooler installations pics?

I will be looking for an intercooler soon and on the top of my list is the BR race core intercooler. I would like to see installations pics, mods that have to be done for it to fit. I do not want to remove the crash beam nor the undertray. Anyone with pics, not just of the intercooler but with the undertray installed and crashbeam.

My other choices are Perrin and ETS.

Yes the crash beam will fit with the Buschur Race Core, you just have to trim it a little.
Here is mine with the 4in core.

What about the undertray, did you have to remove it or did you cut it?

P.S. Nice looking pics!

Looking at the 2nd picture...he still has the undertray on the car. I believe I read somewhere you have to cut the undertray to get the BR Race FMIC to fit, but I'm not sure. I never had an undertray on my car so I don't know if it interferes with the FMIC.

Tim you are correct the undertray will need trimmed just a tiny bit. If you run the BR undertray no trimming is needed.

I've been wanting the race core i/c. It's comforting to see that the crash beam doesn't have to be heavily modified. Will the i/c fit with the Cusco front bar?

How about spacers, would that do the trick for the crash beam. If I had to cut my crash beam like that, I would prefer to take it out.

Nice, I like the way the IC looks tucked in....I think I will be painting the end tanks black if I were to get this IC for stealth purposes!! I have never seen my crash beam, therefore, what was the modification that was done to it in order to accommodate the IC? Thanks for your help!

you have to cut into the crash beam to make it fit...
