+1. I'm too lazy to go find the flow values on the OEM intercooler and don't know much about how much increased flow it would take to actually improve performance so anyone with the technical knowledge please chime in!

sorry guys, I've been swamped at work, will have pics on monday. Also just so everyone knows there is cutting required I realize a lot of people do not like this, but like I said these intercoolers were not for our cars and Im just making do with the opportunity that was given to me. I will write detailed directions along with pictures on how and what to cut. I can even create a paper template so it will involve no guess work. Basically the Aluminum bumper has to have the center section between the bumper shocks cut out (sorry no more tow hook). By keeping the side sections your bumper cover will still be supported and wont sag. Anyone could do the cutting, as long as you have some sort of saw with a blade for cutting aluminum you will be fine (you could do it with a hack saw if thats all you have).
You may ask how the SFR FMIC fits without cutting and mine doesn't, basically the SFR IC is about and inch and a half shorter, therefor it can be mounted lower and the only things going in between the bumper and the middle support is the IC pipes. With mine the core itself is between the bumper and middle support.
