Default flat mounted FMIC ideas ???

Well I am not digging the whole idea of cutting my bumper support and plus I want a stealth look, is it possible to mount an intercooler upfront laying flat and put a scoop so it will get air? If so How does it work and fit together? Thanks

Yeah i did it ands still have the intercooler and all mounting brackets an such for sale and if you are not wanting more than 550-600 rwhp then this is a perfect intercooler if your looking for more its a little restrictive. But fits perfect no cutting stays out of the way looks great and cools very well. Pm me if interested heres some pics for ya its a great intercooler with a Garrett core which are considered as one of the best I used it for only a week I am making more than 600rwhp and after that seems to lower boost by a psi or so

How about looking into the procharger twin intercooler setup. I am not sure if they require cutting but they mount flat with scoops.
