1000 for a custom fmic i think not. you can get a very nice big core for 400 bucks and piping would only be 100-200 bucks just get the pipes and bring them to a exhuast place and have them weld it for you. can be done cheaper if you buy used parts and such.
Please don't listen to Mr. Ghetto Fabulous here, I wouldn't trust an exhaust shop to make a decent exhaust for my car, let along intercooler piping that will need to hold high preasure levels. Completely different welding techniques need to be used for IC piping and exhaust piping. Try preasurizing an exhaust sysyem to 25+ PSI and watch it blow every weld (VPE style yo).

The 2G stock cores are the best to use for a custom FMIC setup since they are a bit more efficient. 1G cores are probably easier and cheaper to get ahold of though.

im saying most places do have good welders there and probably could do it very well. im not saying having them make the piping either you get the piping and either weld it yourself or have a good welder do it. the spearco intercoolers i am talking about come with end tanks. go check them out on ebay i know a couple people that use them and are very statisfied.

The 1G cores at better, the 2G cores are smaller. The only thing good about the 2G cores are the larger inlet/outlet pipe, which you would be cutting off anyways.

Oops, I got the 2 mixed up...for some reason I was thinking that the 1G had the better endtanks and the 2G got the better core.

yeah maybe you should read more and play with your "bunchies" less..eh?...EH?? :stick:

Why would a fairly well known shop fabricate and sell them if they made no difference?


I would hope your not refering to Dejon? IMO their products suck. Idk how those flanges they use seal and not warp when they weld to them, in that perspective now you see how they came up w/ the idea of using SMIC's for FMIC's. What do they care if their products suck or not, they dont have to use them :P .

BTW ~ I have a supra smic on my car, and if I had the choice between this and the two sidemounts in the front, I would definately go with the front sidemounts...Just my opinion though!
Once again, IMO i would take the supra SMIC over 2 DSM SMIC's as a FMIC. Supra SMIC's have been proven to support 600+ whp on supra's and the worthless DSM SMIC's cant even support the measly 14b. Seems like a no brainer there, but what do i know :uh: .

How about this? If you are willing to spend $400+ on buying the intercooler/s and $200 on custom piping, why not just spend a couple of hundred more and get the GReddy 24R FMIC? :idea:
