Must you loose the stock grill on a Greddy TT install?

 

No, I been running around with mine on in "sleeper" mode for a few months now.

 

It needs a slight trim on the inside corner portions to clear the intercooler endtanks...it's close...but a few minutes with a dremmel will fix you right up.

In my opinion, show that bad-boy off and cut the whole grill out!

 

Just my opinion, but I'd rather have a grille eat a piece of roadway debris rather than have it impact that $$$ intercooler.

 

The stock grill is kinda worthless for that purpose. The gaps are way too big. If you are concerned with road debris, it would be better to cut out the entire grill, and the install some kind of metal mesh or chicken wire type material to better protect the intercooler.

 

That'd probably be better against pea gravel, but my stock grille has already caught and stopped a big chunk of 18 wheeler retread that would probably have done expensive damage to the AC condenser or radiator. That's the sort of thing I worry about, not the little stuff.
