Default Tredstone Intercooler

#1 I was just wondering if anyone with a treadstone FMIC had tried to mount it tilted inward or outward for better air flow. I know you have to cut in the crash bar but I was wondering if anyone had tried it. #2 If someone could do me the favor of giving me exact measurements of there FMIC including how much space the piping needs from the radiator I would be very grateful. Once again I am in MN and it is just too cold today for me to lay in the snow and try and figure it out. #3 I was wondering if someone has an after market radiator that is a different size (more compact) than stock. Thanks

the intercooler would probably work better tilted forward slightly than it would be tilted back.

Im sorry how close the intercooler piping is to the front bumper after the bend where you cut.. basically I was thinking about having custom piping mad so I could keep my stock look as much as posible. I know the FMIC tilted forword would work better than it tilted back... I have had a few boosted car before. I was just wondering if thats ok with you guys. Also has anyone tried a smaller FMIC? How well does it work compared to the stanard one....... Yes I used the search buton and I got NADA

Its not the intercooler that causes you to chop up the bumper, its the piping going in and out of the intercooler that causes this. you could just have a shop rebend that part. The intercooler requires one to cut part of the crash beam, which is not a big deal. The main part is still in tact. I know this cause i used to run that kit. :D
