Just to let you guys know as always I'm always trying to improve my FMIC. So I found a new fabricator to fix something that I thought that could be better. The 2 1/4" hot side pipe going to the intercooler. I ran mine for years with no problem but with low cars more ground clearance is always better. ;) This is the old way the pipe ran.

Now here is the new pipe:

It also moves the pipe away from the frame where some where touching the grounding wire bolt.

and more clearance over the timing cover and more room for headers.

This is going to be included in the new version of my FMIC and anyone with the older version I will sell the pipe for $50 shipped. Pm me and let me know if you are interested so I can make enough extra pipes. I have been running it on my car for the last 2 weeks to make sure everything was ok before I showed it to everyone.

On the 3rd pic, my piping rubs agithe timing cover. The coupler is about 3 inches lower than yours... Anyway to fix that?

 

Have you tried to loosen the t clamp on coupler next to intercooler. Then push pipe up and then tighten the clamps? Bryan

bryan can you post a pic of the new hot side pipe from the front view? does this new version still block the tow hook?

That's the picture I forgot to take. I will take off my bumper skin and post the pictures. Bryan

Well, I'm in for the new pipe. The grounding bolt wore a hole in mine. Do we need to PM you? I didn't see on the site where one can order individual pipes.

Pm me
