Pro’s: More air flow. I did this a few years back and it cleared up the immediate over heating i had.
Con’s: Don’t get into an accident. Also, i believe if your insurance found out that the rebar was altered (major protective aspect), your insurance could be void.

yea, cutting the rebar is a no-no in our province too.
if u don’t have ac, a pretty standard FMIC could fit in there without having to cut the rebar.

well my intercooler is 17x12x3 and the opening in my bumper is pretty much only 17x8 i just wanted to get more airflow thru the cooler. I wonder if i just cut the bumper if i don’t have to cut the Re-bar

you shouldn’t have to cut the rebar with a 12" tall IC. But yes you will have to cut the bumper.

do you know if cutting the Foam Support behind the bumper will void my insurance? bigger turbo is going in next couple weeks and i will need the more airflow.
