I have noticed there is some compatibility issues with some aftermarket intercoolers. I'd find out if it fits with your cooler before purchasing, unless your one is an oem cooler

In the picture you posted front bumper has modification called "nose job".if your " nose" still not chopped it won't look as cool.

Dont fool yourself. There is no load in the path that bar braces. Its 100% for looks and adds weight to the worst part of the car.

Yea ur probably right but I just like the way it looks. But then again it seems like it replaces the stock crash bar which im gonna assume weighs more but I cant be crrtain on this since ive never held either part.

This statement hits the nail on the stance evo above.

That rear camber made me throw up in my mouth. Also, I know it is not the topic of discussion but if you are 100% stock do not buy an IC as your first upgrade let alone a Mishi. I would not even run one of their radiators. For IC stick to BR, AMS, or ETS in no particular order.

Fact.
OP, please don't stance your Evo. Mods for looks are not as fun as mods for speed and handling.

I love the look of the power brace, but it wont work with my intercooler. In fact I don't believe it works with any big aftermarket IC.
