You wouldn't get any hp from the crash beam big guy. I was just bullsh*tting on the hp.

Do we know what sort of difference this bar will make in the event of a head on collision vs the stock bar? HP is HP but still, personal safety should always be paramount in the art of modding.

The bar is ideal in placement in the front bumper to cover a front end collision and mirrors the curvature of the OEM bar and foam. In addition, the guy who made this for me has the same tubing and format on his SRT-4 (so he could fit a big front mount intercooler) which he actually wrecked two months ago. It did what it was supposed to and transferred the shock impact to the frame rails, albeit probably not quite as perfectly as the OEM bar may have. I am comfortable with the structure given that the flanges are plate steel and the bar is thick wall steel that it will do its job well in transferring shock loads to the frame rails where crumple zones function from.

No worries bud, it looks great. I was only trolling.

Would be interested in a video if there is any difference in the sound of the G3's with the stacks?
