Well, I'm going to be doing more than just car stuff with my return this year. So I am wanting a FMIC.
I am not able to spend more than 400 though. Maybe 415 or something but that'd be pushing it.
I will be running a 14b and eventually a 16g off it so I need the J-pipe.
I was looking at CX racing because they have a deal going on and a nice J-pipe for not much more.
But my friend got a Punishment Racing kit a while back and I know they are the same core but I hear they have different piping, I know their J-pipe is different but I'm not sure about the rest.
I saw a video of the CX racing kit needing a lot of grinding to fit some pipes and needing to remove and relocate the coolant reservoir to fit properly. While my friend only removed his crash beam. I plan on trimming my crash beam because I'm not a effing idiot though.
Most of all price comes down to be the biggest factor in all of this but I don't own a grinding but do own a NICE dremel. So if I do need to grind down a lot for the CX racing I don't think I could do it.
Are there any better/cheaper solutions you guys know of? Any good/bad experiences with the products/costumer service of each company?
I'm also not looking to go and get piping cut and fitted for my kit. I don't want just a core.
If any vendors read this do any of you have plans on doing a sale around the end of this month/beginning of next month for a "tax return" type sale? I don't want to buy one and be pissed I paid to much for not waiting.
Since this is the hang out anyway, what are YOU planning on doing with your return?

. I was under the impression that they fabricated it themselves. I suppose I could be standing corrected then 
Got on on my 2g hx35 no issues!
