Stock OZ.................LOL
thats what i figured. Plus there are way to many different types of accidents, the crash bar may never even be touched.
yeah...that's not the ONLY way they'll go off, but that's the main way. they could still go off, but there's a lot smaller chance of them going off with the crash bar out.
LMFAO
They sell the f**in thing and even they tell you it isn't safe unless you use their specialy pattented asm Page 6 on following site:

Look at page 2, first safety check:

I know said "and is the minimum requirement for most track cars", but I strongly beleive there is a very good reason why that is.

We prefer five point belts over four point belts, because the submarine belt helps keep the lap belt positioned property, and is the minimum requirement for most track cars.

A 6-point harness is much safer than a 4-point one. With a 4-point, the harness can ride up your body in a crash, and all the forward forces can go onto your abdomen, crushing your vital organs. A 6-point holds the harness down.
A harness with folding road seats and mounting points at floor level is positively dangerous: in a rollover, the seat is likely to break, putting all of the force through your now-unprotected back. A broken back is the likely result. If you have road seats, stick to seat-belts, perhaps supplemented with a CG-Lock to help keep them tight.

^ definitly, I drive my car mostly, but my wife uses it now and again, so anything to comprimise the airbags isn't an option
I will see what I can do with the crash bar. It doesn't really have to be able to take an impact, i mean they are only rated to like 10mph anyway, but i guess it will need to stay somewhat intact to set off the sensors.
when i get to it, i will take lots of a photos and see what i can do. If all else fails i will get a smaller intercooler

thats an option. it seems like an over the top one though. If i can't modify the crash bar, i will ditch the Evo intercooler and use a smaller one. I can't imagine there will be much of a difference performance wise.
