I posted this in the WTB section as well.....so basically my night sucked hard...... I was cruising down the freeway in the far left lane....and some chick cut me off (trying to dodge unknown object in road) well she failed miserably at dodging it...and launched it back at me at high speed.... Oddly enough it completely missed the bumper, it went straight into the opening, and NAILED my stock heat exchanger....... Breaking the mounting tabs somehow?!? And knocking it loose to where this thing is scraping concrete for me at 70mph.... I got off the freeway as fast I could but the damage was already done. It still holds pressure and works but it's pretty destroyed and not sure if it will work much longer as I'm sure the internals will burst soon...

Sooooooo, needless to say I'm looking for an AFCO H/E without the fans....if any of you guys have one or know someone please please turn them my way....desperate to fix this soon.

I know that feeling all too well. Luckily it happened the day AFTER I took my turbo kit off. Took out my CDC Aggressive Chin, bottom half of my bumper, A/C condenser, radiator and fan.

Check the SVT forum too - I've seen a few for sale. If you really get in a bind, I have a stock GT500 heat exchanger you can use until you find something. I'm in Houston.
