Default FMIC

Anyone installed an srt intercooler on a non-srt? With them being like 60 bucks shipped, I think it would make to be a nice project for a little under $200 bucks.

You would have to make some modifications, right? I'm seriously considering doing it, any help would be appreciated.

you may have to modify the front bumper a little bit for 03 and up. as i understand it fits behind the 00-02 w/o modification, aside from adjusting the height to match the opening in the bumper. nicks02es may be of some help on fittment. are you going turbo or just putting on an intercooler?

i hate to use the term, but 'domestic rice' is all that comes to mind. mind you it IS YOUR car, and not a sole here can tell you what to do with it. however, i think its dumb. why pay that much money for absolutley NO added performance. and generally you will be made fun of, not to mention give real SRT4s and turbo 2.0s a bad reputation for being rediculously slow to those who dont know that yours isfake.

but to answer your question... if you put on an SRT bumper and the stock SRT FMIC, it will fit just fine. the only heads up i can give you is your hood fittment. that is the sxt hood is about 1" longer than a SRT hood, so you may have to get the hood. and for the cost of the bumper, FMIC, and hood youll have spent the same as you could have on some nice performance mods

I really dont like srt fronts on sxts Id rather get a bodykit than a srt bodykit . only looks good on a srt 4 the wing and exhaust is a different story any 2nd gen can run both of those and look good. Its your ride you run with what you want .
