If your car is still sporting the OEM intercooler, then absolutely not since there is a large air gap across the bottom. Most if not all aftermarket intercoolers are taller and fill that gap.

yea I have a larger intercooler and someone recently posted a picture of theirs after some miles showing the bottom couple inches not getting dirty (and presumably airflow).

Buy a MY2027 CTR? :)
I doubt the ‘27 facelift bumper’s opening is sized bigger than the OEM intercooler.

I’ll probably wait to take the bumper off again until I have a radiator to swap as well, but if anyone else is in there looking at it…
