Save $$$...build your own IMSB
Many people have elected to save tons of cash building tbeir own IMSB replacement at home. Krazy idea, I know. But, do it, sell the car with the ad stating IMSB replaced, and reap the sweet rewards.
If i wasn't posting from my phone, i could post a useful link. But i am, so i can't.

KrazyK ideas just aren’t usually appreciated in their own time. Years from now the do it yourself home built IMSB will be a value add.

I think this process should be memorialized with its own product name. How about "Da Solution"?
Re: Save $$$...build your own IMSB
To go along with the home-brew, save-a-buck IMSB, you can save a few more bucks by using this method for all your hose clamping needs...

Since we're posting up our tragic tool photos, here's my FINE crank pulley installation/removal system:
Understeer: You will hit the wall with the front end.
Oversteer: You will hit the wall with the rear end.
Horsepower: How hard you will hit the wall.
Torque: How far you will move the wall.
Gone hunting with Alec Baldwin and Dick Cheney. Back soon.

Re: Save $$$...build your own IMSB
This is great information, with all the $$$ saved one could gold plate all the old parts.
I few other things I've learned on the internet,
- Gutter guard and cable ties will keep debris out of the radiators.
- Kitchen utensils are useful for increased aero
- ZipLoc bags can keep a phone out of an air intake
