okay well this isn't really a "review" i would just like to say that other than a few fitment issues in the fender well. this intake was badass. all the welds were sealed, no pin holes. internal quality was great, it wasn't wavy or anything it was all smooth. but most of all, it survived this... a 70mph slide/spin/hit into a mailbox, telephone pole, telephone box, and 4" o.d. steel piped fence.







the radiator/crash bar whatever, actually crushed AROUND the intake! in order to get the intake out i had to use a pry bar and bend back some of the metal, and then rip out the coolant tank. THEN i had to shimmy it around and various directions while sliding it out through the hole in the fender well. and upon retrieving it.....its unharmed. not bends, crack, holes, ...nothin.

 

jesus christ!

 

MAybe you should of got snow tires, Mark

 

Do you have recaros?




Sucks man glad you're ok though. Have they found the cause of the accident yet? I'm assuming you still don't remember?

 

i blacked out i guess. thats all we could come up with really haha. i mean theres no other reason taht i would be going 70mph at 530am through an intersection on a road thats a 35mph limit that i had been driving all day

 

you plan on selling it?

 

jesus, mary and jospeh. i take it you're all right man?

 

the car or the intake?

 

Intake lol or any parts.

 

lol. i black out too sometimes. then i'm super hung over. and summer tires in winter ftw.

 

wingless trunk for sale?!

 

Lol, your FMHE seems to have survived quite well too haha

 

the intake lol. i have no use for the car :p

 

as of right now nothing is for sale. depends if i'm getting another cobalt or not. if not. then locals first. which is pretty much everything


no drinking was involved. nice try though. and i had been driving with those tires through TWO of our worst snow storms this year with no troubles. its called your medicine perscription gets fucked up and isn't refilled before the bottle runs out and therefore you can't take it.

i guess some people don't realize that i'm smarter than to go 70mph in a 35 with a foot of snow on the ground....

i hope so hahah. that way i don't have to buy another. but when i was taking it off today i unhooked the lines thinking it was already drained and a **** ton of coolant came out. so it might be perfectly fine.

 

wow that's pretty insane, maybe we should build a car shell from intake material.

Glad you are ok.
