I had to cut for the pcv valve. Mine also hits the stock intake pipe but I dont think it will rub a hole in it.

The intercooler end tanks hit the bumper. It always best to cut a little then try and bolt it up. If it doesnt fit cut a little more. I dont have pics, but once you put the bumper on you will see where it needs to be cut. Mine was an 02 bumper btw.

Hey Hey
The hood hit the top of the cam housing so put something on the top of the cam so it put a mark on the hood when it closed

I just wanted pics to do this before the swap in a few weeks to get it out of the way but that's ok , I got the pics on what I needed on the metal part of the bumper , now I will just grind down a big area on the hood around where the cam gears would be .

I also cut nothing (01 RT hood as well), clears fine. The front bumper took quite a bit of trimming though.
