Something very similar (minus the intercooler/radiator) happened to me. I was heaidng home at about 1am EST from seeing my brother one last time b4 her went back over to Iraq (no comment on the war subject 
). A damn opposum the size of a racoon runs out infront of me while I'm doing 65mph.....took off my front diffuser, and believe it or not, messed up my exhaust system . The dealer had to bend some of the brackets back into place and said that there was fur all over the underbody. Even so, w/o replacing the exhaust system, I will have a metallic rattle for the life of the exhaust. I plan on getting a new system in spring.

yeah that happens sometimes. sad. i have had many of my dogs and cats die on my road. nothing you can do about it. just recently my sister hit my neighbors cat, we went down there and told her so the cat wouldnt just lie there for weeks to come. I would return the cat to the owner if you know whos it is. But it was black?... could be a sign...good luck...

The soonest my car could be done is in 2 1/2 weeks, o well I'll keep the miles off it. In the meantime they got me sportin' an 05 tahoe.
dam thats alot of money for a dam cat
enjoy the tahoe , except for the gas you gotta put in it , lol atleast it takes 87

In July someone posted hitting a porcupine and causing over 3K(Canadian) in damage and over an hour of quil removal from the engine bay. They had to replace the intercooler, radiator, condensor, and brackets.
