Best budget with minor cutting?
See someone the other day with his out the front, bumper cut roughly around it.
And about 2 inches infront of the bumper.

There isnt a 'budget' IC without 'minor' cutting.

Just get the THS, Might be worth £200 more, but its a farrrrr better fit and will always sell in the future to someone for good money.

THS all the way minor cutting of lower grill and no pipework hanging out the side of the bumper well worth the extra pennies

I have there black version so unless you look hard it's not even noticeable
