What size intercooler fits WITH foglights?

I really would love to keep my fogs.

after designing my intercooler piping and deciding how to mount my intercooler, i dont think its the intercooler that is the problem...its the piping. there is no way to get the piping from in front of the radiator/condensor around the side of it and into the engine bay without going where the foglights should be.
unless of course you modify the car to make room and route the piping a different way.

BTW, i have a 2.5"x28"x8" intercooler and my foglights will need to be removed.

There is a way, but if you live somewhere where it gets really hot I wouldn't suggest it, if you remove your AC there's enough space to run 2 inch pipe "basically around your radiator, you could actually go 3 inch on the hot side, but 2 inch is the maximum on the cold side and even then you may need to use a 90 degree silicone hose adapter to get around the rad on the cold side.
