Def noticed a differance in power. I have the AMS I/C i left my crash bar in due to the amount of miles and traveling i do. as far a weight goes it does weigh more but it is larger and a differant design. as far as using a jack to put the i/c in it wasn't that heavy, it took me less than an hour to install the hardest part was getting the stock hoses back on.

My buschur weighs a good amount maybe 35 lbs with piping? You probably won't notice it on your butt dyno at first, but up top and on a hot day it helps a little. The lower piping is what gives the power boost. The IC is more for efficiency and doesn't really add much if any on stock turbo. But good to have, especially if you live somewhere southern.

Either way, there's more kinetic energy in a single car traveling at 25 (or 35) hitting a fixed object than two cars (one going 5 and the other 20) hitting each other. I believe the equation is KE=1/2 m x V2.
Plus, there are 2 crumple zones in a 2 car accident. LOL
