Not taking anything away from this awesome kit. Just saying that an FMIC and a purpose-built crash beam are apples and oranges from a safety perspective.

Looks like FI could never be in your future. Wether you lose the crash and replace it with an intercooler, or jam intercoolers behind the crash bar not allowing it to crumple your going to have to give up something. Moral of the story, don't get in an accident lol
