While mounting my IC I noticed some of the fins are missing. Can this still be used.. Will it be ok.

Best way to find out and be sure is to pressure test it and see if it leaks.

Yup if you do a boost leak test you will know right away.

I don't have a compressor.... I guess I'll pick up one at walsmart... and check it...

Yea if you dont have one now might as well get one. All you need is a little pancake one so you can boost leak test and pump up tires.

The fins are there to dissipate heat. As long as the end tanks and the bars between the end tanks aren't damaged then a few missing fins isn't going to hurt anything.

Even using a bike pump will let you know if it leaks. You'll know right away.
