I like it mounted right where it is... It could be up higher but I don't want a different bumper and u need air to flow across the core otherwise it doesnt do a whole lot. right now the inlet in the bumper (which has a flap on each side to funnel air, youll see what im talking about) so all of the air that enters there has to flow right through the middle of the core for good cooling. if i had a diff. bumper i could mount it higher but thatd show it off more and I don't really want that since its somewhat of a sleeper car, hence why i got the sq which is the quietest of the vortechs.
Well it is better for cooling, but I would just be worried about scraping the bottom of the I/C on the street. My bumper has scarsunderneaththere from who knows where.

Im thinking about doing the same thing with adding flaps to direct air into the I/C
