o3cts · #1 (**permalink**) 06-23-07, 09:50 PM

Im trying to modify my oem bumper for the intercooler, and piping to show a lil something like the imprezza or evo's but some what smoother.
I 'm not interested in doing the V conversion yet, plus trying to keep that base cts look, So i"ll like to know if anyone would have ther oem bumper from there V conversion, and way i can take that off your hands ?

I'll prefer silver , or black but I'll take any. I'll give some money in , but really looking for a donor. just pm me if youve dont the V conersion , and still have your oem bumper Thanks

are you gonna make the intercooler visible at the bumper or are you gonna put it behind the grill?

Do you have a SC? I understand innercooler are only effective on SC engines that generate a lot of heat.

yes he has a SC and any forced induction will benefit from an intercooler....you will loose some psi but intake tempure changes of 50 degrees will be good for 15-35 rwhp so yes it will be beneficial

Yes sir, and yea theres alot of heat being generated.

Luv Im trying not to lose any psi trying to at least keep it above 5 psi + intercooled so any way you look at it theres going to be a big gain. At the track people thought i was a proto type car , because i dont have my front bumper assy on.

No Bumpers ?? anyone what did you guys do with your front bumpers ??

yep I figured as much... either way if you do loose some psi you can just change a pully and you are back to your original psi level anyway

btw did u ever get a package to sell put together and post some more videos of the sound....you only posted that one
