FMIC Choices, please help
So with Spring showing up sooner or later and summer right around the corner, I'm going to purchase a FMIC however I'm having a hard time deciding which one. Money isn't the problem as long as it is the top quality and makes great power. I have a HKS Legamax exhaust one, INJEN DCI, and Active Autowerke downpipe. I would like to do do the FMIC followed by downpipes then a ECU upgrade as a final step. So could you guys please give me your opinions on which FMIC to go with and why... Thanks

Hey first I'd like to welcome you to the forum since I see your new. There's a few of us from Queens not too far from flushing. I used to live in flushing but now I'm in the BX. You gotta come out to some meets when the weather gets a little nicer.
As far as FMIC there really is so many great choices. I suggest u just research them on your own to see which ones suit your preference. But you can't go wrong with HPF, ETS, or Helix. HPF is the biggest one and requires some trimming to make it fit. I believe ETS & Helix slap right on. And if your doing downpipes then AR Design is the way to go

ps there is a 10% surcharge for buying the WRONG intercooler Brian: whatever choice you make, go to CamberToe to get it installed. Unless you are picking up one of our intercoolers and then you can get it installed here |
