Default Horizontal intercooler?

I saw a pic of an intercooler mounted horizontal right under the bumper. How does this compare to hacked out bumpers? Mine is mounted kind of out of the airflow because I refuse to hack my bumper. I might go this route though. He had fans mounted to it. Opinions??

it work good. i guess. prolly not as good as hacking out a nice chuck of your bumper and leting lots of air go through it..

i believe my engine was seeing about 95-100 degree temps on an 85ish degree day while on the dyno.. so actauly driving around it prolly works alitle better.. i think camaros look ugly with front mounts showing thats the only reason i put mine hidden.. firebirds however look beautiful with front mounts

Yes, I was talking about you!!! That looks pretty good, and I don't want to hack my TA no matter how good it looks.
