After receiving a damaged intercooler twice (first was potentially in transit, second was probably a previous return from another customer), I am getting a refund. Wondering if I should be replacing the intercooler as a prevention of future issues?

Not a bad preventative measure due to the fact it has plastic parts and its under the hood, but I will say my last 6.0 with 297K still had the original intercooler with no detected leaks.
