fmic question

[domenico_169]

well im gonna be purchasing one of JR's Fmic's. anyways what i wanna ask is, since i live in canada and its SOOOO cold here in winter time, i just wanna know if the fmic is gonna allow me to have less heat in my car, because of it being in front of the rad and shit. also, whats the best thing to use in winter to cover it up so i dont wreck any of the fins?

You car will heat up better because you will have the FMIC blocking all the cold air that would hit the rad. If you want to completely block off the intercooler you could just put a piece of cardboard or plastic in front of it and zip tie it to something.

^^ whta he said....o btw, i just got done installing one of his intercoolers, you are gonna have a b*tch of a time gettin the pipes to line up right through the radiator support, but you just gotta tweak(beat w/ a hammer) the part that sits inline w/ the car and it will work a lot better for some reason...just a tip it took me like 1 hour to figure that out...the kit fits great though and looks HOT...i cant wait to get the car on the road to test it out
