Got My Fmic!
#12
Sorry guys I don't have a digi cam to take pics. Trust me though it looks sweet. Once I have the car repainted and the new nose put on/ painted I'll have the guys at the body shop take some pics and give them to me on disc. After that I'll post them up on here.

Here's a good site for pics of what it will look like FMIC pics. Also there's this oneFMIC pics 2.
The second one opted to cut his pipe where as the first one took out his power steering like I did. Take a look at these and you can see where you need to cut and how everything is setup. Hope these help.

I did a custom FMIC project on my old GXL with a TII engine with the stock IC. It was a bitch and I imagine this one will be an even bigger bitch. I have an s5, BTW. On my s4 GXL all i had to do was cut holes by the headlights and bend up the support up for the hood and I moved the ing. coil over an inch or so. Other than that there were no other modificatons performed. It was a total sleeper. The piping was all custom made though. I bought bends from McMaster-Carr and Burn's stainless. Some of the pipes were expensive as hell. A 90 degree aluminum bend from Burn's was $45!!! But basically aluiminmum bends and silicone hose did the trick. It looked pretty clean too.
I don't think more horsepower is gonna make me get more tickets. I'm gonna be drifting just as frequent. I don't speed. I only accelerate to the limit as fast as possible. Two tickets in an FC for me and they're both for drifting.
