I believe Bushur is the same in that regard, but don't think they include anything to block off the radiator fan, which I think is important.

I like the piping job buschur did... but yea thats the same size as theirs... Ya any IC that doesnt make you remove the crash bar is good... a IC bigger then that is over kill for this car... unless your planning on putting a huge turbo in it and getting a new body kit for the front... the lower section ICs are fine...

I totally agree that offering PC on the pipes was a brilliant idea. Though for me, I want everything to match so I'll get it all coated at the same time

Debating on maybe doing the same... tho I dont know any powder coaters in the area or any idea the prices... And i would perfer a textured red PC then just a smooth gloss which seems to be what they offer. I still got abit over a month to make up my mind :-D Any idea what I should expect to pay to have intake and FMIC piping and rims PCed?

not to mention that a textured finish will help hold the couplers on.


i agree with the people that stated the FMIC is just the right size...removing the crash bar is just not cool and anything that big is just over kill and unnecessary...unless your running a gt35 or so

Exactly.. 99% of street cars will be fine with a simple upgrade sitting under the crash beam.

Unless you're going to be doing some serious tracking with the GC, it's a waste of money and safety.
