I was thinking about this at work today. Wouldnt that just suck?

I have the sidemount from HRC, but thought about going to front mount. If I do, Im gonna make a steel cage around that thing!!

hittin an animal period would suck, but with an intercooler, it would really suck, especially if it screwed the intercooler over, that's why when I go turbo, if I EVER hit an animal (damn armadillos in alabama) that it will only give me bumper damage and not engine components :)

dont you have to take off the front bumper reinforcement to put in a fmic? if so, then your engine would probably get fucked up

I wouldnt care if I hit an animal. I have an extra $1000 coverage on anything bolted to the car. I would tell my insurance company the intercooler was $900. If I break my intercooler by hitting an animal I would just get a nice new greddy one. Or I would use the extra money for other stuff and get another starion FMIC.

Heh well there's not much space to hit an animal with my bumper. I have the 5MPH bumper also so it should help hehe. All I have to worry about are bugs, hehe then again i think a rabbit could hop into the intercooler!
