Default what FI kits remove the front bumper beam?

I'm actually specifically curious if the ATI procharger or Vortech kits require that the bumper be removed, but am curious about other kits.

I know the greddy removes the bumper right?

The Vortech Kit allows the front bumper to remain

power enterprise retains your crash beam.

greddy TT needs you to remove it due to the intercooler.

I think the Greddy kit is the only one that does?

I guess that's the price to pay for that huge intercooler.

I had to trim my crash beam ever so slightly to get the APS intercooler to fit behind it without any rub.

You get to keep the bumper with the ATI with no problem.

Just the greddy due to the thickness of the core.

the greddy IC core is over kill. as with all the other turbo kits out there..

in reality, we only need like half the size for efficient cooling... i think the bigger IC is to make it a bit nicer looking..

Tony (wild350z) made a custom crash bar for his Greddy equipped Z.. u should really think about doing it and making sure the airbag impact switch is in the correct location.
