it shouldn't be a problem. all an intercooler does is cool the air from the turbo before it goes back into the intake. there are no chemicals, or emissions from getting a front mount intercooler. besides, if your car already has an intercooler, then it is just an oem replacement, just relocated...

If you get an intake with a CARB # on it then your warranty will still be intact....anything else such as downpipe and BOV will void the warranty.

Why should I also consider these? X

At well below $25,000, all said, the Speed3 provides more performance than the Honda Civic Si or the Nissan Sentra SE-R Spec V, while costing significantly less than the Subaru WRX or Mitsubishi Lancer Ralliart.

If you’re willing to invest in a set of snow tires, the Ralliart or WRX might be a better bet for chilly climes, though they cost several thousand dollars more.

Please note that TheCarConnection.com hadn’t yet driven the new Volkswagen GTI—one of the Speed3’s chief rivals—at the time of this review.
