Is this structural ??
Heres a question for you lot that like to do the extreme to our scoobs.
is this bracket needed for support/structure ?? (not my car/pic but its the same)
Reason i ask is i have fitted a newage TMIC and it hits this, so i too mashed it with a hammer,got the TMIC to fit but the y pipes underneath still hit/rest on said bracket and its casuing vibration/excessive noise thru the bulk into the cabin.
can i just whip it off and be done with it,it seems you can whack it/mishape it so i dont think its structure based ?????
anyone any thoughts ?????
cheers

Cheers for replies.
Tilting it wont help, as how it fit,the y pipe joint onto the intercooler,where it bolts,as you fit the intercooler,one side goes underneath that metal part so is touchin the underneath side of that part.
i suppose i could trim that part ????
Instead of that metal on the bulkhead being the kinda Y shape it is, i could make it rectangle ???? so id cut off the 2 parts in line with the coolant hoses

Cheers all for replies.
i sorted it, i did the rectangular jobby on that gearbox support bracket, works a treat now, i just bent the outer side bits inwards so its still supportive and strong just a different shape, intercooler fits straight away,no jiggling or anything required.
sweet !!!!!
cheers again all
