Rep Power: 285 the bar that has the foam in front, not the radiator support, you slid the IC between bumper and radiator support right?, i mean mine fits but it seams too low, i really feel like it has to be raised an inch or two otherwise im scared it will smash off the ground 24/7

In order for all IC piping to come together, the bottom end of IC should be in line with bottom of radiator. That means you'll have to take IC and slid it between rad and the bumper support. IC will be partiali blocked by the support. But Thats OK, this IC is huge for power that you'll get.
At first it looks like IC cant be slid, but try moving it left to right or even turn it back to front. Dont be afraid to bend few radiator fins, they make no weather, since they are alredy blocked by the bumper support.
