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.

I know it would cost you more money, but an idea for you, since you want to use a GT4 hood, and to really make your car on point and done well is to order a GT4 bumper, take it and your OEM to the shop have them cut the top 1/2 off each bumper mate the GT4 top to your OEM bottom facelift (it is possible), that way it will all run together,

take the GT4 bottom, mate it to your OEM top (don't have it painted) and sell it here @ cost to you (i know someone will want it)

that way i really think your car will fully come together though it makes it lil more $ and effort but it would be worth it

and you could have the IC fixed, take it to someone who does good tig welding, have them cut it down to 6" or 8" tall weld a plate to close the end tanks
