Intercooler (form over function?)
I'm on the fence regarding which intercooler to get, a 5" staggered, or 7".
Here's why it goes here, I have a m3 rep bumper, with the 5" being taller will it better fill the opening? |

With the Staggered FMIC you'll have more frontal surface area. If performance isn't a big deal as the difference is small, then go with the 5", assuming stock turbo's. |

I'm more concerned with the appearance. Does either one hang lower than stock?
My stock ic has a gap between the bottom and the top of the lower lip of the fascia. |
