Bit of open ended request. Depends on the size of the IC. You could fit one by modifying the standard pipes. The Pre IC pipe is pretty much in the right place but the post IC pipe is too long. You could cut it down and refit the rubber hose. But in most cases you'd want to replace the standard rubber pipes with silicone ones.

I will change hoses eventually when funds allow...intercoolers just a universal one because didnt just want a long thin one down the bottom

What size is the inlet and outlet?

[Gibson87]

Both 2.25 inches

And it's length? It's hard to tell which pipes you need without showing us it or giving dimension?!

[Gibson87]

695mm long and 175mm high

Here are my IC pipes for my Forge front mount. The one of the left is a custom replacement for the standard pipe, although I was using a standard one before I got it. You can see it's pretty much the same as the standard pre IC pipe. The black one in the middle is the standard post IC pipe that I have cut down and put a 90 degree bend on the end to join onto the IC.

Here is the layout of the standard IC.



As you can see, part number 9 is the black metal pipe in my picture. I have cut this off just above the metal bracket before the bend. This removes the length of pipe that goes across the front of the engine bay to the side mounted IC. Part number 7 is the standard rubber joiner that connects this pipe to the IC. Depending on the size of your outlets you can use this to attached the modified post IC metal pipe to the IC. The pre IC pipe can be left alone with except to the rubber joiner on the end depends on the inlet size. I can't remember the diameter of the standard IC inlet/outlet.
