i have a 88 mustang gt with the stock bumper and i have a 3 core procharger intercooler and it just dont fit in the bumper. i really dont know if i want to cut it out so does anyone know of any intercoolers that will fit good and still provide the cooling power or maybe even close to what the 3 core will do thanks

Click to expand...

it should fit, Ive done quite a few... You do have the model that is made to go in the bumper correct? They make a model that mounts flat under the car as well.....

I have trimmed the actual bumper a little to move it further up and make my own mounts, but typically do not have to trim out the actual painted cover. I have taken a little off but you couldn't tell. Do you have any pictures? Where is it hitting?

Is this the sheetmetal or cast intercooler?
