Bumper Sag/Removed Crash Support
Tried searching but could find anything. Does the front bumper sag when you remove crash support?

Why would you want to remove the crash support ? If you have an accident without it and Insurance company finds out they probably won't pay out.

No side effects other than death in a frontal collision.

From what I've seen picture wise an intercooler fits just fine with the bumper support intact. In some of the pictures they actually attach the intercooler to it .

something is needed to support the front bumper at speed. it sits fine without it but it is very unstable. there is no way I would run without nothing. get a chromoly one made out of 1" or 1.25" tubing and the weight will be insignificant, support the front bumper, and protect you and the core in a slower speed crash.

You don't use chrome moly for something intended to flex/absorb energy.

hence why I said slower speeds. it's just there to hold bumper at speed
