Default Intercooler questions

I've been searching this and couldn't find out an answer. What size are yall running on your fmic? Also, is there a benefit over the 2.5" over the 3" if the ic is 3"? Will the 4" core fit without heavy modifications? Pretty new to this, just tryin to keep myself busy for a little while until I get my turbo.

I am using a 24"x12"x3" intercooler this is the one. I just wish it was that cheap when I bought it.
