Would a 3" result in any less modification?

I'd let someone thats done this mod with a 3'' say something, i've seen them installed i can't remember off the top of my head though what was done. i think there is a tread regarding the question. i have a 3'' cx racing I/C same dimensions as you listed just havent mounted it but am gonna do a 4.5'' I/C instead.

this is the intercooler i used behind my grill and the only thing i had to trim was my bumper cover . if you dont have a ss you will probably not have to trim anything... Heat Exchanger

fit like a glove. if you want to see pics of it mounted let me know.
