I was wondering just how efficient the volvo fmic's are? I see them on ebay all the time and even the "big" ones sell for cheap. I was also wondering how efficient the Starion was? I have read many opinions that say it is not big enough to be very effective and vice versa. I always figured that since it was mounted in the front it would work better than the tmic, but maybe I am totally wrong. I picked one up a while back but I don't know if I'm going to use it. I might just break the bank an buy the greddy one.

The core i just measure it by itself is 18.5" long,17.25" high and 2.25 deep.Thats without end tanks on it.I guess I'll have to take out the front valance panel and try to fit it there.I know the lower lip on my Erebuni bumper is going to have to be cut now. 
Why me?

That sounds like some overkill. If its gonna be that much hassle, sell it and go the starion IC.
