Size of front mount?

2003.5_MSP · 07-29-2010, 10:38 PM

what is the greatest size of a front mount to fit on an 2003.5 MSP without cutting the support bar? i found a complete kit on ebay but the overall size is 27" X 5.5" X 2.25" would this fit on the MSP? thanks in advance...

yep that's the one. I don't know about the 03.5 but on my spicy I should have ordered to the intercooler that had the inlet/outlet off centered. I thought the centered ones would work oerfect but it hits the mounting area for the fogs I had to rig the pipes around. Had I went with off centered It would have cleared easily. I've never seen the back end an 3.5 front bumper so I couildn't tell you if the same plastic piece is in the way.

well i have a 27x7x5.5 will see if this works when i put on my retrofitted headlights...but if i can make it fit its going on...but if not need to sell and then get one that may fit if this one doesnt...Do you think the 27x7x5.5 will fit or no?

27x7x5.5? no chance. it can support a 3.5" core, max, and 5" or so without cutting the crash bar or bumper

i think 6 is the absolute max tall, and thats even going to rub the bumper bottom. i have 5.75 and its close.

6 is the most you can go without cutting the bumper. look at corksports intercooler to get the size. or whatever.

zuku26 · 07-30-2010, 10:17 AM

my core is.
Overall Size 27"X6"X2.5"
Core Size 21"x6"x2.5"
2.5" Inlet & Outlet
2.5" Core
It's basically an exact fit leaving everything stock under the bumper in place.
Like I said though I just wish I had ordered the off center one.
But creative coupler placement allowed for the pipe to bend enough tp clear the fog.

2003.5_MSP · 07-31-2010, 10:02 AM

overall sizes that fit on car (correct if im wrong)....27x5.5x2.5....27x6x2.5 (6 is max)
