I'm a little skeptical about Godspeed. They keep advertising that they sell intercoolers for the 03-06 SRT-4 . Now, I don't know everything about cars but I do know the SRT-4 stopped production in 05.
I'm referring to the "EBAY GODSPEED INTERCOOLER". Sold by Turbo-International, i do not believe it is affiliated with Godspeed at ALL, due to the fact that the brand is not etched on the intercooler. There ARE HOWEVER Ebay listings for "godspeed intercoolers" with the etch in them, therefore i would assume they are actuall godspeed intercoolers, not fakes. But mine is the one W/O the Godspeed on it, and thats the one im reviewing, im pretty sure, they all are the same design, qaulity, and installation will be the same for any variation, maybe the only difference would be performance. Regardless, with the etch or not, these intercoolers go for less than $300 shipped. I finally got some good pulls with this on, and i have noticed a fair difference in how my car runs, it seems like the boost is a lot more... shall i say, stable? seems like its flowing like it should be, being cooled better then it was, and holding the boost too. Im using the stock piping, but i tightened those things to heaven and back and im pretty sure im not leaking boost anywhere near this unit. Again, best bang for your buck, <$300 for id say a good 10 hp, better air flow, and cooler IATs, as compared to >500 for most aftermarket units of the same size, good for 15-20 hp, and around the same flow and IATs.
EBAY "GODSPEED" INTERCOOLERS FTW
Glad to see my review was so successful, for once in my car experiences i did somethign right, that others agreed on!!!! woo hooo haha.

I just purchased one of these intercoolers, was wondering will the stock pipes work and what has to be removed for them to fit. Does the whole crash bar have to come out?

Yes, the stock ic pipes will work, make sure you pick up some tbolt clamps if you havent already. The stock crashbar does need to be removed, id recommend getting an aftermarket one(some people dont use a crash bar-which is bad for an accident, and some say that your chassis is more flexible without a crashbar). I use a slowboyracing crash bar, I think its the best aftermarket one available imo...Btw, an aftermarket crashbar might not be as strong as the factory one, but if your using a bfmic, its better than nothing.

How bout cutting a portion out of the crash bar to make it fit?

i dont think youll be able to cut a portion out if you have an aftermarket bfmic because theres a rubberish peice in front of the stock crash bar that i guess keeps the metall from hitting the bumper, or keeps form to the bumper, but if you cut the metal crash bar peice im sure the thickness of metal that connects the two sides would only be like.... a quarter inch thick which would really help, and youd be covering the top portion of the intercooler.
That slowboy one looks like a winner in my book. thats a niceeeee peice.

There is a piece of black foam infront of the metal crash bar(stock). There have been people who modified their stock crashbar so a bfmic will fit, but imo, its too much work(and it might make it structurally weaker to the point that a aftermarket crashbar would be better+all the time you would have to spend trying to modifiy it)
