Zip ties?!?! LMAO!!! That's funny!!! :P I like the HMT logo. Did you have cardboard and cut it out or just have those painting letters? What kind of paint did you use? Will it clog the pores? Would paint thinner take it off? P.S. The passenger side looks like it needs pulled up a little.

I just printed a HMT in a huge font off my computer onto two pieces of paper then exacto knifed the letters out of some cardboard. I just used regular outdoor paint. I am sure paint thinner would get it off. What pores would it clog, to answer that question, it will not clog any pores.

if you don't believe in the religious overusage of zip ties...you're in the wrong place and GReddy wants you back.

Now that you have it in place with the zip ties, it's time to move up into the big boy league. Hose clamps. 8)

Exactly. Mine are also held on with zip ties too....til I can find someone to tig my flanges on. There ain't nothing wrong with zip ties.

isnt the HMT on the backside of the intercooler? ???

Re: HMT front mount intercooler
 
I don't hate on the zips its just funny. I used them on my HMIntake used out of a shop vac extentsion piece. The zips hold it. I'm going to try to find a way to drill and bolt it on or just tack it in place. I got a local machine shop and welder. He's helping with the downpipe so I might just have him tack it in a few places.

both sides are the same, there is no back side

Fix that ----. How hard is it to drill a hole and bolt it up, or go to a fab shop and pay $10 for it to get welded on.

You're going to accelerate/brake/turn and it will be banging around and break. Being cheap will kick your ass down the road.

Re: HMT front mount intercooler
 
you should put some rubber betweent he IC and the bumper support its will make less noise

zipties are god my bumper it held on with them i hate those plastic clips that you have to unscrew

Re: HMT front mount intercooler
 
I'd assume zip's should do the trick.... if your ballsy like accordepicenter you can rely on the charge pipes and bumper to hold your IC Mad Tizzite! ;)
