Default having a problem with my intercooler sitting WAY to low

does anyone have any idea of mounting it up higer? i have an ap2 and ive been reading alot and cant seem to find anyway of getting it up higher, it says way to low for my liking and it seems the only way of getting it up higher is cutting the frame (which i dont really wanna do) or cutting the intercooler (which again i also dont wanna do) anyone have a different way? thanks

There is no way without cutting. You need a proper size. I run a 30x12x3in thick which fits perfectly between the rails and completely fills the bumper opening. That size is rated to 700hp I think. Check Ebay and I know that pfab and fullblown also sell proper sized cores for our car. You must have the inline pro core. Theres really no harm in cutting it too fit though. Its not like anyone can see it. Heres a pic of mine, it extends several inches above and below the opening.

Its just a noname universal one I picked up off of ebay. I think it was like 180$ There all the same thing you just need a different size. Just trim the inner frame rails a bit and raise it up some. Everyone with the inline kit has had to do this.
