FMIC & fog lights?

[dommk]

Ok i have been looking on here, but have been coming up empty. I want to either go with a G-Reddy FMIC or Victory but i want to keep my fog lights, and from what i have read, is that once you have an FMIC on you cant have your fog lights, but i have heard people say that there is away to keep them. so what i am asking is, can anyone tell me how, or is there a link/forum somewhere that tells/show you how to do so? Also, does anyone know where i can get these taillights, i saw them on http://www.procarparts.com but they do not sale them anymore, and now i cant find them, there abotu the only tails i like besides stock

Thanx in advanced!!

It depends on the intercooler design. If you mount it low enough the pipe will be just below the light.

I have a PTE intercooler(31.5"x8"x3.5") so it's a custom setup, but I am able to keep the fog lights. It looks almost exactly like the first pic you have. I just made my own brackets to mount it and it works great.

I will try to get pics up as soon as I can

Get a FMIC with offset inlets and outlets. That should help get the piping below the foglights.

The Greddy will allow you to keep the fog lights as well.

My particular IC is a Johnny Race Car street core. 6" version with 2 1/2" inlets and outlets.

The GReddy one has been reported as junk on many occasions.

I am running an 8" JRC (Johnny Race Car) FMIC and still have the fogs.

I bought some U-bends from here, http://www.magnumforce.com/ubend.asp , then cut and welded them up.

I bought one of those DIY kits off of E-bay that came with the various bent pipes, couplers, and clamps. It was a cut-n-connect type deal. Worked pretty nice for me and the piping was beautiful.

Do you have pictures of your set up?

would that intercooler still allow foglights with the piping kit?

The Greddy kit & the Victory Performance are no wears close as far as quality & performance. I run the Victory Performance Super Street kit & can tell you the kit is amazing. The finish is show quality, you would defently be happy with this setup, but with it you do have to lose the fog lights because of the ic core inlet/outlet locations but its worth it in the name of performance. If you check out my gallery you can se some pics of the VP setup.

Some of the difference between the kits are Greddy bad points:2.25" pipeing, extra long route, tube & fin core, damage fairly easily. Greddy good point: keep the fog lights. VP bad points: lose the fogs. VP good points: 2.5" pipeing, short route, bar & plate core, cast end tanks.

Well so far, i have checked into both the JRC and victory, and i am liking both. victory has a complete kit, jrc just has the intercooler, but for somereason, i am liking the jrc most, so i think ill just get that, and custom bend some pipes! thanx for all the help guys!! (and yes im a newb, but, we all were once....right? )

As of now, I only have shots of the FMIC installed... none of the piping yet.

As stated earlier, the GReddy core will allow you to keep the fogs, but it is not worth the money you will spend on it.
