Intercoolers compatible with Cusco Front Bar

Just like the title says, looking for an intercooler compatible with the Cusco bar. I know the ETS one works with it, but it's like $600. I saw the older model AMS ones seem to work, but are there any others? I was interested in the VRSF one since it's a 3.5" and only $350, but even they don't seem to know if it would fit as they haven't tried (what I saw from searching).
Can anyone confirm any other intercoolers other than ETS that will fit the Cusco bar on a IX?
Thanks!

Would be better if you ditched the useless Cusco front bar.

True, and I've love to, but since it came with the car when I bought it I would then need to buy a new crash beam. The price of that plus an intercooler would be roughly the same price as if I bought the ETS in the first place.

I recently installed a 4.5'' Speedfactory IC. To my suprise, the ic cleared the cusco front bar completely! If you wish I can take some pictures but with the bumper installed.

A 4.5???? Seriously?
That's way bigger than I am planning on, but I would love to see if just because I'm curious.

Yeah I think the plan now is to just remove it and get whatever intercooler I want.

I will get some pics for you tommorrow guys. Yes, it is the HPX IC. The guy who installed the IC was thrilled with the quality and was asking for the brand because I did not tell him the brand haha
