Is there a way to run an Intercooler without cutting up the car?

[slow90coupe]

I'm really wanting to run a CX racing intercooler with a BOV on my car. All the installed pics of the kit always show the intercooler piping going straight through the engine bay inner fender. Is there a way to run the piping without having to cut a huge hole out of the inner fender? Here's what I'm talking about. Where the piping goes up to the engine bay.

Honestly I don't see how else you can route it except through there

not really. entry points consist of the intake tube hole, "up and under" the radiator support (behind the fan), and thats about it....

Be prepared to cut up the inner fenders. That is all.

Yea you pretty much have to do some cutting. There's no other way around it Justin had a intercooled vortech 2v thing hauled ass

Alright thanks for the clarification guys. Guess I'll just have to suck it up and cut a hole. I think I can make it look clean.

 

[MustangChris]

use vacuum hose (cut down the center) to make a nice clean border on the hole

That's exactly what I was planning on doing. I'll be sure to measure at least 5 times before making the cut.

 

[MustangChris]

yeah. that too. lol

It's a 5.0 but that's how I ran it.
