We treat the 3.8" just like the 4.0" intercooler. We have a lot of customers who say the 3.8" fits just fine w/o trimming, but we also have customers say the 4.0" fits w/o trimming. But the majority of the 4.0" guys require trimming or removal of the bumper beam. I imagine it's the same with the 3.8"
The only intercooler we say fits for sure is the 3.0" and the 3.5"
We really don't like to even sell the Garrett intercoolers, the Garrett's always leak from the factory and take a ton of time fixing to get them to hold pressure to our specs.

I finally made it fit. Kakaka. I use smaller spacers for the two ends of the tank. Put some thick rubber covering metal pipes that touch tank. Kaka. That shop installed my intercooler didn't even try to make it fit for me. I hate half *** job.
