hey does anyone have any pictures of the Aex'i fmic mounted, with and without the front bumper on? inside the engine bay would be nice too. I'm thinking about buying one, but want to see how it fits up first. thanks.

here are some pics I have, they are from when the car was basically stock, but you get the idea in the pics what you have to do.

intercooler install

Does someone rock out to songs like "Escape from Hellview" and "96 Quite Bitter Beings?" (I know I do.)

Thank you very much. I saw a couple pictures of it on some from the outsideand thought it looked like it sat a little further back than most, but wasn't sure if it was a custom install. I've been trying to find a fmic that didn't require removing or cutting the bumper reinforcement bar for a while now. Looks like I know what intercooler I'm getting. Thank you so much. You're my new hero.

Just to make sure, but the intercooler for the single turbo and for the stock twins are the same thing right?



By the way, I really like how you routed the pipe coming from the y-pipe. I've seen pictures of engine bays with these intercoolers before and always thought that their routing was really bad.

the intercoolers are the exact same, it's just the pipe kit that is different for single/twin

to be honest IF you would like to actually SEE the FMIC like if you decide to go with an aftermarket front bumper i would choose something else for the simple fact that it sits way to high to see it! unless you make custom mount brackets .
