> [@newman](#): > > lol. i think he is an idiot. ever see when they do the smokestream tests in aero tunnels? they hold it right near the road, and most of it goes up over the hood and roof. so you are still getting alot of the same air. however, the idea that the hood will be as hot as the road is not true, because there is a steady supply of cooling air rushing over it, whereas the road the air is not moving nearly as much (just breezes and such) No I wasn’t implying that the hood would be as hot as the road, but the addition of heat rising through the hood and into the scoop might negate some of the benefit. I dunno for sure. Like I said, the dealer told me this and I just changed the subject. I can’t stand when I know someone has no idea what they are talking about and it takes a lot of self control to not call them out. > [@newman](#): > > not gonna lie, i like the bigger one.

I am going to bet that newman doesnt make much more than I do… and I could not in any way afford those cars without going MASSIVELY into debt. But hey, if he doesnt care, more power to him… and in all honesty, who the fuck cares how he affords them. Although newman doesnt drink, which automatically accounts for at least one of the cars… lol. ---

I belive the top reason for the TMIC is if the car is ever involved in a front end colision… or in the rally world, hits a rock or something hard, they dont have to worry about replacing the front mount intercooler. For instance… you rearend somone doing 10 mph…in a sti you have to maybe replace the front bumper…but ina srt-4 you have to replace the bumper and the intercooler…which racks up alot more money!!! ---

A front mount would add a lot of cost onto the car, and it is simply unneeded for the power that the STi puts out. Thats why they stay with top mount style IC’s. ---

You are probably in the same one I am - and it’s just the area we live in 🙂 That or we have other things to do with the money, like buy a house. ☹ House in 1 year… hopefully… Nice purchase Newman ---
