    If a stock one does, why would that one not?

    I do not think anything beyond a 2" intercooler will clear the stock hood with the stock fuel rails.

    the stock hood will take up to a 2.25" thick intercooler with the stock rails.

    With a bit of massaging, maybe. My 2" intercooler put the fuel rails high enough that one of the metal pieces holding the rails together made contact with the hood. A few gentle smacks of the hammer resolved the issue, but a quarter inch is substantial.

    Guys..I have tons of room with a 2.25" IC. Who'd want stock rails at that though. So much cleaner w/o it.

    Oh..Sorry, H bodies have tons of room.
    I drink..so consider that when reading my posts.

    the majority of the aftermarket hoods use the same style underside as the stock hood. either youre going to need to cut the cross braces or get different fuel rails.

    I have a WS6 hood on my gtp. A full size IC will fit no problem but you my need to get out the good old Dremel and modify the hood for the BBV because that will most likely hit the hood. The inside of the hood raises up a few inches after it clears the "ram air" section of the hood.

    I have a ZZP s2 IC and the WS6 hood and it clears, as to what he says^^ you'll need to dremel the BBV area or it'll hit the hood.
