installing apexi front mount
 
Hey guys I will be searching right after i post this but now that I've started I might as well finish. Question is: do I need to cut the frame a bit on the passanger side to install this intercooler. It looks that way and I will be using custom IC pipes anyway so I think I will be cutting, but just wanted to check and see if that is what evryone else does. What do you use to cut? I used a grinder in that area already for my fresh air but I also ended up cutting a bunch of wires too...whoops. That was annoying. I don't kow if I can get the grinder in there to cut what I need to cut this time. Sawzall?Thanks

yeah you have to cut a little peice that ends up looking like a triangle. i used a sawzall and it was pretty easy to do.

i just beat the hell out of mine with a 5lb sledge. it still hits the intercooler occasionally but nothing life threatening

For my Greddy 2row i didn't have to cut anything the pipe sort of touches it though

Yeah it looks like with the apexi there is no way around it. I think I will be using the grinder to cut slices in the tringle then the hammer to bend that sucker in. How many inches did you need to do? 1 or 2?
