I read that with the front bumper of the 2011/12, you have to remove the fogs for the ic of the Paxton/vortech blower. Is this the same with the 2013. It's one of the last factors in deciding which blower route I'm going to go. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

^+1, You Also Do Not Have To Trim The bumper As The Instructions Say, Just The undertray

Ok. As silly as it may sound, I guess I'll be going with the roush as I don't want to lose the fogs. Thanks for the quick answers guys.

2013-14 GT/CS fogs are not lost......if it's on the internet it must be true<--I see that entirely to much on here, everyone has become an expert in this day in age.

Oh well, I think I'm just gonna go with the brenspeed roush setup instead. Thanks for the answers though. I hope it comes in handy for someone else.

if you change your mind, I can make you a smoking deal on a Paxton setup

I actually posted this over a year ago. Im going with VMP in Jan. I started out wanting Paxton to keep the engine cover (cleaner) but didnt want to remove my fogs. THEN I decided on the Roush because of the OEM look and not losing the fogs. So you see your decision being partly based on that is not as silly as it seems.

Oddly enough, I changed out my front bumper for the Roush Front bumper 2 months ago...so all that is moot anyway. Im still going with the VMP despite all that..IDK if this applies to your year, but it looks like that's been answered already.
Thanks
RC

Does brenspeed offer a tune with the jlt big air intake now? I was going to buy their 650r kit but they didnt offer a tune for that package

Anyone know how much bigger paxton/vortech intercooler is compared to Procharger?

I kept my CS Fogs with my procharger Front mount. It was a tight fit though.

Just want to confirm that the 13-14 GT/CS does not lose the fog lamps with the Paxton. Is there still a lot of cutting to the fascia? Would like to go the Paxton/Vortech route in a bit. Not much point right now with an inch of snow on my car.

Thanks

On the 12 you would need custom piping bent in and out of the intercooler. We haven't physically do a 13, but the 13s in general need no bumper cutting, but I think you might still need 2 custom bends
