i have it. Its a great intercooler. The only thing is your going to wanna remove the lower grille as the tabs for it get "smushed" and will eventually break off. Anyways it looks better without the grille.

IDK, Synapse Turbo's shop is a 20 min. drive for me so i had them install it, basically with the discount i got from buying so much, it worked out that the install was pretty much free. It took maybe 2 hours, maybe. I have the stock intercooler in the garage, i can look as best i can to see. I just know of the lower grille part because i told them to keep it on because we had a good amount of snow still. the snow is slowing down so i removed the grille. Its definately a tight fit though. I believe removal of the front bumper is atleast insisted if not pretty much required.

to put any intercooler on you pretty much have to take off the front bumper.... its just easier and less of a hassel in my opinion

you can change ic pipes without bumper removal, but an IC swap requires the bumper to come off

i put my hahn on, and the stock grill fits fine

bumper is not too much of a PITA to take off
