Just installed the IC today, Very nice piece cosmetically. Nice welds etc.
Installation was a breeze for the most part. The upper IC pipe coupling was hard to get onto teh larger IC outlet, but not big deal there.
The lower IC pipe did not line up quite right, I have a Greddy lower IC pipe, and a Hahn lower IC pipe. The Greddy fit better. The Hahn was too long for this IC

Performance wise I didnt notice a whole lot of difference, a little more topend, But I am only running 15psi on the T25. I had my MBC set to 15psi before installation, after installation it dropped to 14psi, so I had to reset that, so a little bit of pressure drop..

I figure in order to see the most performance increase I would have to be upgrading it after a turbo upgrade.
We'll see how it performs in the future at around 350whp.

the hahn is rather expensive for a side mount...

There was a member that posted up his dyno results, and came to the conclusion it was time to go FMIC, I PM'd him instantly and he said he would sell it to me as soon as he got it off the car

Just keep an eye out, they are hard to come by used. Definately not worht $600 new IMO. Because you figure you can buy a FMIC complete kit w pipes for 8-900.

BTW, I took it out for a drive tonite and it pulls WAY harder than it did before. I guess I just didnt really notice before because I hadnt turned my boost back up to 15psi yet. Very please with the SMIC so far...

hmm interesting......I'm trying to stay with a side mount to keep my "sleeper status". I'm still looking at hahn, dejon, or a tt supra for my sidemount.
