thanx!
Well i probably wont hack it apart, but on a related note i contacted Bell intercoolers about i/c options about a year ago. Our best idea was to combine 2 of their cores together, but it only added up to 1-1.5" more length, not worth the near $1000 price tag i was quoted. If you or your radiator shop can source a core the same dimensions as ours im sure you could remove inlet and outlet flanges, weld the factory sides on, then reweld the flanges.
