Great question! This was a major design consideration when developing the system. In order to keep the stock crash bar and retain the OEM level of fitment and finish we designed the intercooler as you can see in the renderings. We also use a shorter and more direct pipe which keeps bends to a minimum and increases overall efficiency and power.

This was the optimal design during our flow testing and the ability to keep the stock factory crash bar and retain the complete OEM fit and finish is a huge win!

Awesome question!
