Does the race core install from the bottom like replacement ones or do you have to remove the front bumper? Thanks. BTW its for an 18 and this summer i would like to add a downpipe, tune, and some other bits as the warranty expires at the end of the year.

I can't comment on fitment because I don't have one and this is a fairly new product, but what I can say is CTS is a really reputable company so fitment should be perfect.
However, that being said the larger the intercooler the more difficult it will be to install, especially if you are doing it on jack stands because you will be bench pressing a 50-60lbs block of aluminium inches from your face with one arm in a weird position (meaning it is extremely hard to lift) while your other arm is trying to screw it in.
