Opinions needed on intercooler install *UPDATE*
 
Alright, I'm trying to put an intercooler on my Civic, its basically mounted but only tack welded cause I'm unsure if it looks like ----.

The bumper was already fucked up when I got the car and I hacked it up a little with my old setup. Now the question is weather to ---- it and leave it the way it is or cut up the support and angle it back some. I don's have the front lights but thats where the intercooler piping is going to go so it'll look a little more complete with piping.

I would say to try and move it back a little bit more if you can.. just looks like it will get destroyed being out that far..

what are you using for shielding gas? Is that a 20 pound tank of CO2?

Argon/CO2 mix. It sits flush with the front bumper, I'm not worried about it getting fucked up I just want it to look semi-decent

that's an odd looking argon tank.. is it 40 cf?

Usually I see them a lot thicker and shorter.

I knew I'd get the truth from HMT.


I don't want to take the core support out but I'll modify it.


I knew it looked like ---- but I just wanted to bolt it on and say ---- it. Finished product comming up....
