The pipes won’t line up and the intercooler is to big you gonna have to trim some rubber thing that directs your airflow to the radiator and the beam have figment issues too my advice don’t get this go ahead and order the prl intercooler and the afe power pipes that’s what I did
The bigger the better in my eyes i am fine with triming some things i am just not going to buy the pipes if i have to fab them myself

Wow! You have to completely get rid of the OEM impact bar to install this? That's an extremely stupid idea. That tiny replacement bar is next to worthless. Guys please don't install this intercooler. That impact bar is very important for your safety and to save the front of the car if you happen to get in a front end collision. You don't need something this big anyway unless you are going for like 500+ hp.

Not backing down. My order will stay in place. I intend to make it work.

Edit: Not to mention, I’m already talking plenty with Full Race on this and have a pretty good idea of what the install is going to be like. If @CivicR316 doesn’t post it up, I’ll do a step by step DIY for the install.

interested to see how much boost is lost through a core this size, and real dyno numbers. the turbo is far to small to make use of a core of this size.

Yeah I’ll lose a bit on the front. But I’ve got a lot more planned out so I’ll make it up on the back end.

Any updates on the fitment issue? Curious to see if it's something easy enough to fix or go w/ a different company.
