#57029, "FMIC sizing"


          

Hey guys, I found this FMIC and it looks perfect for my custom setup:



However, I researched the Hahn FMIC and its 9" high... This one is 10.5" tall AND I need clearance room on top of the IC in addition to run the pipe over.

My question is will this fit or will it be sticking out under my bumper? Thanks.

I could make that work easily.

If the height is too much of a problem with running piping on top, then flip it over. It looks like the piping could be run on bottom very easily and the other inlet would be point directly towards the hole required to run your intercooler piping through(left side).

You would just have to cut off the bracket on top and weld a new bracket/brackets. Easy as pie!

One thing to think about is if your car is dropped more than 1.5 inches, that lower piping might be too low to the pavement. 5 minutes with a tape measure to see if the piping would clear would be all it takes. Worse case is take the bumper off to measure everything out. knowing the dimensions of the entire intercooler is a must. You will most likely have to remove the large plastic bumper brace if you still have it.

If the price is good, I say buy it and make the darn thing work.
