A Spearco IC is on the way, 18"x6"x3" core, 2.5" in/out. Should fit nicely in a S4 bumper.
Looks like I'll have 2" coming off the turbo going out into the bumper area, flare out to 2.5" going to the IC, then 2.5" from the IC to the TB.

It's a homemade setup....
I got some 2.5" mandrel bend piping and silicone hose sections. I'll probably have close to $500 in it, including the IC. I'll have a write-up once it's complete.

ya i know, i meant where u getting ur IC? local or internet?
i am looking to get an IC as well, but haven't found a reasonably priced one - they quote close to $1,000 CAD just for core(no end pipings), which is about $700US and the size is similar.

I got it off of ebay...
It shipped out of Canada, which may be easier for you.
It's this one here, 20x6x3:

It should fit under an S4 bumper....
it will be below the metal frame. There is about 7" of room heightwise. You may have a problem fitting a 8" IC in there, although it may just clear, depending on how much room you have between the beam and the radiator, as the S5 bumper angles down on the bottom, and may allow an 8" IC to fit.
You could removed the metal beam, notch it to clear the IC, and put it back in if it's going to hit.
Here's a pic of Urotrash's IC, which I think is a 3" core with 2.5" piping:

And I did pay via paypal.
