My Intercooler, Too large? Options

[Negative]

Tweak, Pressure, Playr - this pic looks just like my IC. The only dimension I know is it's 3" thick. The reason Is I got it on a bad debt from a friend. It's brand new and I'd like to use it on my 5S-FTE but I want to make sure it's gonna be OK. You guys have a lot of knowledge and first hand experience.

I know a smaller one would be optimal and one this large will probably give me pressure drop but this one was free and I'm sorta strapped for cash with all the other parts I've been getting so...
Let me know what your opinions are. Thanks in advance.

BTW - Other opinions are wanted too - I just neamed those guys cause they for sure know what's up.

From the pic it looks like you can install the crash bar over top of the IC. In fact what looks to be in jeopardy is the little strap that runs from the hoodlatch to the lower radiator support. I'm sure I can fab up a diff strap for that. I'm not about to run without the crashbar.
Other opinions about overdoing the IC?

holy s**t! finally getting around to it, eh?

Yeah - I want to use that new IC cause it's brand new and probably won't need to be upgraded later.
