Hey crew, I accidentally punched a hole in my stock side mount doing race car stuff so its time to put in an FMIC. I'm broke as f*** so I found a few ebay special intercoolers. The first (http://www.ebay.com/itm/FMIC-front-...ash=item3f4cfb5281:g:v-EAAOSwPc9W0RWM&vxp=mtr) has pictures of it assembled but the charge pipes are too long and complicated, therby holding excess potential for lag and leaks. I found an intercooler (http://www.ebay.com/itm/BOLT-ON-ALU...ash=item51b1c9c7bf:g:FlMAAOSwHnFV3yhU&vxp=mtr) with somewhat shorter piping but I can't tell because theres no pictures of it assembled. Anybody have this particular intercooler, or similiar brand, who would care to send me some pictures of it assembled before being installed so I can get an idea on what the charge pipes look like.
 
Sorry about your bad luck man.
Anyways, you'll get a lot of "stay away from eBay" replies and I agree. Most of it is junk, but I understand your situation. Why not just spend an extra 50 bucks and get a VRSF, it's a great intercooler for $309, you can't beat it. That's what I have on my GSX, if you would like pics I can go get a few for you.

Sorry but I can't help you on the EBay ones.

+1 on spending a couple more bucks on the vrsf. Well made and great customer service with fast shipping. Many guys on here run it including me and love it. Best fmic for the price range.
 
My fmic is similar to the first one... Not sure if mine is eBay or not the previous owner had it installed already on it when I bought my gsx.

That Vrsf is short route piping, you will have to cut a little bit of your core support by the passenger side headlight so the piping will run right to your throttle body. This is the best picture I have without the bumper. The picture with the bumper, I cut away some of the bumper off at the top and still have a few inches where the intercooler is above the opening. I'm pretty sure you can't use fog lights anymore, at least on mine I can't use the driver side 1 because the pipe is in the way
