Intercooler upgrade without removing front fairing?

[MeeLee]

Is it possible to do an intercooler upgrade, without taking all the front plastics off?

Also, would you recommend an intercooler upgrade, to fight summer (100+F) heat soak?
I already feel the ST has less power when the temps reach 90F vs when 75F.

You need to remove the bumper to replace the intercooler because you need to pull it forward to get it out. If you're experiencing heat soak, then upgrading the intercooler is the cure; upgrading the radiator is also a good idea.

Does a bear poop in the woods? Yes the front bumper comes off during install...very simple after you've done it a few times. I'll put money on it I can remove mine in under 10 mins.

what I really wished, was that they would sell some large fin style aluminum heat sinks that can be connected to the intercooler's top and bottom, using thermal grease and some sort of large zip ties, to give the stock intercooler more cooling power, and so I don't have to remove anything. Just add on some aluminum.

This is by far one of the silliest things I have heard lately.

I'm waiting for a way to change out my brakes without going through the arduous process or removing my wheels... 4 lugs for each corner?!? Who am I Mr. Olympia?!?

Removing the bumper isn't fun, but it isn't difficult either. Just do it!

Your maximum boost temperatures will take longer to reach, but if you really want to combat high temperatures then meth injection is really the way to go.

I always wanted a powerwheel....But I was told Santa couldn't fit it down the chimney.

That kid is better at drifting than I am! He's got a mustang though, only a matter of time before he runs over a crowd of people lol.
