he MPx Crashbar/Chassis reinforcement is now produced, IN STOCK, ready to ship.
Have you removed your factory crash bar to install a larger intercooler?
If so, then your car isnt protected for low speed impacts, because in a low speed impact your bumper will crumple into the intercooler, which will push into the radiator, into the fans, and into the motor.
Also, when you remove the factory crash bar, your removing some of the rigidity your car had due to the extra reinforcement of the crash bar. This means that during cornering, and hard acceleration your chassis could be flexing/twisting.
SOLUTION
Now, nothing is as good for protection as the factory crash bar, but when you want to install a larger intercooler you really have no choice but to remove the factory crash bar. So, what we did is we created a crash bar/chassis reinforcement bar with the little room we had.
CONSTRUCTION
We started off with 2 inch rectangular 16 gauge steel, along with .20 inch thick bar plate for the ends and created a chassis reinforcement bar/crash bar for use with the MPx intercooler. (as of this writing, we have been able to confirm that it also fits the Spearco intercooler). Also, this is only 12 lbs so its strong, but yet fairly light !
The MPx crashbar/chassis reinforcement is NOT visible when the bumper cover is installed.
$209.99
Or, $189 when purchased with a MPx intercooler.
