Just make sure when you buy the plumming kit it has a BOV flange and the bead weld around the ends for the coulper, weither it be 2.50, 2.75, or 3 inch, stainless, or painted, Plastic or metal, all your choice.. Hope this helps and good luck

Re: FMIC kits

So, there's mutliple thread with arguments on this subject alread. I'd suggest getting back on topic before this is locked up. Just my opinion though.

As for the origional question, your selection on intercooler/piping is going to be very dependant on where you wanna go with the vehicle, and how much power you are going to be making in the future

Re: FMIC kits

Ebay cores are very highly looked upon. I've read that many people have had great luck with them and they have taken them well into the low 12s and 11s. This is why I got one.

Re: FMIC kits

Haha the only ebay part on my car is the core. I don't want to get too off topic, and I'm not one to flame, but there are lots of huge threads on tuners of people all over using ebay cores and making good power off them. I guess I havn't read or heard of anybody running 11's on a sidemount so thats news to me, but I can tell you that more ppl run 11s on ebay cores than they do on stock sidemounts haha.

Re: FMIC kits

Brian, if I remember right, your whole kit came in the same box. I'm not saying it's not sick, and I'm not saying it isn't possible to make good power on a ebay core. (Mark W's stealth TT for example). But you have to admit that your piping was some janky ass shit, before LSE modified it.

Re: FMIC kits

Very true. I never said the piping was good, I said the cores are highly reccomended on other forums.

Re: FMIC kits

ebay isnt as bad as ppl make it out to be. I bought quite bit of parts off it, they were just parts from ppl. like parting out junk cars and what not,same concept of buying from ppl on here. I just dont go through a whole lot of bunk ass sellers. And dont buy things that say "HKS STYLE" lol.
