UICP piping for FMIC and stock sidemount?

[D_Eclipse9916]

Right now im running a stock sidemount and instead of just buying a flange for the 1g bov I want to buy an uicp. However, I plan on upgrading to a front mount eventually and I was wondering if I could buy a uicp pipe to fit both applications. Thanks.

If you are talking about buying piping for your stock intercooler and then using it at a later time for a front mount. Then I dont think itll fit. Because of the curve the piping has to make. I still run my stock intercooler, so I wouldnt be for sure. But it curves to much. You may be able to use the piping to hook your new front IC to your stock IC. Depending on how long your front IC is, you just unhook your piping and turn it 90 degrees maybe and hook it up. Its been done before, hooking front IC to stock IC, but I dont know if it would help anything out, because front IC has to flow into stock IC, so it might be the same. Dunno, best bet, buy new piping.

...wow.

Anyway, I'll answer. Yes, you would be able to reuse the uicp if your fmic used the stock pipe routing. Most people usually go shortroute, though..in which case, you wouldn't be able to reuse it.

Your best bet, honestly, is to just get the L pipe, and use the stock S pipe if you plan on going frontmount.
