Running a large streeport on stock twins, PFC, exhaust yada yada yada.



Until I upgrade and go single I'm not looking to boost over 12lbs. What do you guys recommend. I've heard some good things about the Apex'I kit, but what about something simple like the Greddy 2-row? Chassis and support frame cutting is something I'd like to stay away from, but I can deal with it.

get a V-mount from Chuck

I like 'em, but oh so pricey. Plus I dont like how it lays the radiator back. I wanna be able to stand it up.

custom?

I would go with the Apex'i over the Greddy 2 row. I had bought the Greddy 2 row but didn't like how you had to mangle the bumper reinforcement (well several other things too, but the other things are true for most all FMIC, like the radiator being straight up and down behind the IC). I think the Apex'i fits in between the front frame unlike the Greddy which sits in front of the frame. I ended up going with a VMIC but if you really want a FMIC I do not recommend the Greddy.

I didn't know that. I prefer the SMIC and VMIC anyways.

Apexi is a great unit, nice and thick

sweet7 10-22-2005 03:20 AM

Goddamnit, thats what I was afraid of, $2000 later I buy the Apex'I unit. Oh well.

Look emo..... I mean emu boy. A custom V-mount isnt the best idea for me. I'm going to stand the radiator up, bottom line. So what do I do? Make a custom bracket for it forward of the V-mount. Then I'm getting into all the cutting of bumper reinforcement and chassis that I wanted to avoid. Plus then, unless I put some mesh up there, I'm sodering on the rad. core every week cause something broke it. I'm open to suggestions though? I just dont know what option i have other than FMIC.
