Hits the airbag bar at top, stonetray at bottom, and had to trim left and right sides of the reo bar.You might be able to squueze a slightly wider cooler in if u go like a 76mm cooler,and push it forwards and trim more reo bar.

I think a 600 core is as wide as you can go with decent end tanks without the need to hack up the front of your car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go for a straight fit with minimal changes if you can...My two cents!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that's the only way to fit a decent cooler (Except nizpro, and there long ass piping if u dont have there plenum.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
