Its nothing to do with any of that if its in a mk2 escort....

I am guessing the snail has been rotated further round to make it fit the intercooler rather than pointing down in that case you don't need the drop bracket.

Its better without due to other pipes and the chassis.

Mike - size of pipework makes no odds, if you fit a mk2 with an rs500 intercooler in the same place as it is on a cossie then it will be draggin on the floor
