ok, so Ive been driving with this on my car since january.


It went like this... Hit a bump, pull over re-attach a pipe. thank you ILP performance in PA cause you dumbasses rigged this dumb shit up (and charged me $350 more then you quoted me you fucking pricks).

Enter evulflea aka my hero. bought his STAR FMIC and piping. had to weld a different BOV flange on the star piping to keep my HKS SSQ BOV and buy 30 bux in rubber/silicon couplings but other then that it was perfect.

now I hit speedbumps a little faster cause it looks like this now:


whatcha think? I know everyone and their brother has this FMIC but damn I love my car even more now. stage III here I come (bought 420aVengers block, savin up for install)

Yea, whoever installed that FMIC in pic #1 needs to get kicked in the nuts.

i agree with ^^^^. the first fmic is def a turd. the new one looks 500x better!!

___________________________________________

its not the FMIC thats a turd (its a starion and in pretty good shape), the problem is the installed it with the endtanks pointing down INSTEAD of pointing up.



heres a shot of the FMICs mano a mano



anyone need a starion for a custom install?

exactly why I spent 400 bux on the new FMIC and 35 bux in couplings =)

i refered to the old one as my interwarmer

whoa yea, that is a pretty funky setup... i dont really know what to say about it.

You know exactly what to say about it, but yer to nice to say it . "Interwarmer" hahahaha that got me laughing pretty good. I would say that the money spent on the new FMIC and couplings was money well spent. You should stop by the shop that put the 1st FMIC on and show them how to do it right. Looks good man
