The stock sidemounts are still up front getting fresh air. Moving it to the center of the car won't change anything.

Or go my rout and do a SQ FMIC that doesn't heatsoak for under $40, hoses and everything.

I had a friend out in San Diego when I lived in that neck of the woods, running low 12's with 2 sidemounts that he had welded together, using it as a front mount. Ghetto as hell, I loved it!

I know Dejon used to sell 2 or 3 stock sidemounts welded together as a FMIC kit.

It's not a waste of money if the price is right, and you heatsoak like a mother on even semi warm days. Sure, it's no HUGE FMIC with great heat disipation. But for $40 or less i got rid of heatsoaking the SMIC, and with little change in lag.

I don't see why everyone's so down on it when it fixes the problem of SMIC heatsoak and actually helped the free mods i did actually do me soem good. Oh well, to each their own right? Plus, the one i got is dirty enough it's hard to see in low light situations and cloudy days. So it's more... sleperish. If that's even a word.

Clean it and it'll work even better for you.

It's just an oil resin, there's no dirt and very, very few bent fins at all. I like the fact it isn't all shiny and sticking out. I didn't get it to look nice, or show off. Just for elimination of heat soak. Nothing more.
