Quick question about ETS intercoolers

Hey everyone,

So, I am going to be getting an ETS intercooler soon and I'm not sure which one to get. I have an 05 Mr with a ix front bumper. Would I be able to use the standard tank with the IX front bumper or do I NEED to get the wide tank. There's a pretty noticeable price gap between the 2 and i don't want to spend the extra money, only if I have to. Thanks.

Both fit the same. The 9 intercooler is just on a 22" wide core instead of a 24" wide core to match the bumper openings better.

get evo 9 intercooler itll look weird with an 8 tank in a 9 bumper. like itll look to small. 3.5" will fit fine and a 4" i believe you have to trim the bumper a little.
