I have been wanting to get a larger intercooler for my car since the day I got it but there is the awkward metal bumber thing in the way. I have noticed some people have just cut it for the space with what im assuming was a metal jigsaw or something. Does that bar really do all that much and is it ok to slice it up so i can fit in a larger intercooler?

Don't forget that the crash bar also supports the rigidity of the front of the car.. It helps brace up the two "frame rails" that it attaches too. I know they aren't actual frame rails since its a unibody car, but that piece is part of the cars structural stability. You may not really noticed this with it on or off, but everything adds up in the end.
