So I have the regular twin intercoolers on my Procharger set up now. I have seen people do one FMIC and cut their grille. While I think this looks sweet, cutting the grille is not something I want to do. I was wondering if it is possible to mount the twin intercoolers on each side of the grille. If so would this get me better air flow? Thanks for any input.

Got ya, I was going to suggest drilling 2 bigger holes in the center of the bumper and the reinstalling the grille. I too didn't want to cut much out of the bumper or grille. So i bought a slatted grill that air flows through nicely and then used a 5" hole saw to drill 2 holes in the center of the bumper. Painted it all black and reinstalled my black grille. You can barely see the holes or the cooler when its sitting on the wheels.

I think your SLP grille would be a bust on that idea though.
