FMIC decisions desicions.....

[Hesh724]

are there any fmic's that dont require the bumper support to be cut to much? and are there any certain piping kits that fit our cars very directly? i guess what i mean is what have people had the best luck with

Best bang for the buck is Punishment racing kit or the Vrsf kit from the supporting vendors you do have to cut a little out of the crash bean and they are both short route piping which is the cleanest way to run the pipe.

A short route kit would be better IMO. Even if you do have to trim the crash beam a bit just take a sawzall to it. Wont take long.

What about these? i know its not fmic. these requires no modifications to a bumper what so ever. its only $270-$299. it can handle the power from 350-600hp. And liquid to air have Pressure Drop: Less than 0.1 PSI. lowest of any intercooler set ups.

Most kits only require SLIGHT modification to anything. VRSF and Punishment kits are cheap and great quality for the price.

I have the VRSF FMIC kit, it is a great budget, true "Bolt on" kit. Here is my review/install/tech article, might help with your decision. http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/articles-turbo-system-intercooler/386137-1g-vrsf-fmic-install.html.

Thanks every one!

Can I ask why it matters? That bumper support is for 15 MPH and under accidents as-is, which the FMIC would absorb anyway.

Slowboy also makes a nice street kit so you don't have to cut bumper support.
