Well here it is...

[AudiSportB5S4]

With ALL the help of the (2) AMC boys, and XJinCT here and there lol, here's the fitment of the front mount.







We think that we can trim up that pipe on the pass. side and weld it together to get the best fit possible, maybe throw the side grilles back in. Anyways, thanks again guys it was fun having the sleepover lol.

[highPSI-S4]

Nice, with the grills in it will look very clean.

[AudiSportB5S4]

thanks! yeah, for sure. i like how it looks though to be honest it BARKS now doesnt meow hahaha. i think the best thing to do after going through the install of this is just laugh. i would almost say that custom piping is very worth it. im sure JHMs kit is going to be nice, if its realllly sweet maybe i ll get rid of this piping and install that, ya know.

you can get the pipes tucked a bit more if you cut the plastic part next to the rebar braces like this, it wont hurt anything





then trim your pipes more here



then they shouldn't stick out so much

[GramCracker]

Nice Mike! It looks sick. You gotta get those side grilles back in for ultimate sleeper look!

Thanks for the tips man! Were gonna have a take two on it maybe and get them to fit better well do what you said thanks a lot.

[S4-ORCE]

Def. get those grilles back on..otherwise looks ricer IMHO

[BurnAll4S4]

hey man, i was trying to get my pole polished, ef you nigga. (said pole was polished)

lol it was nice meeting you...hopefully we can chill again once i get my shit together with my s4 and such.

[AudiSportB5S4]

Yeah that's the plan. As stated. Idk about ricer but hey opinions are like assholes everyones got one right! :-p we have to do some trimming then it should fit. The driver side is good now to fit just the pass side needs what ospecc said trimmed up

[AMC]

hey man looks great in the pics, cant wait to get your side grilles fitted, what a fun day lol u guys forgot your damn jackets and they are too small for me haha

[AudiSportB5S4]

lolol. my dad goes, holy crap, that looks mean!

[AMC]

lolol. my dad goes, holy crap, that looks mean!

lol good thing he likes it and doesnt hate me lol

[The_Jerbel]

I would remove the front plate mount and trim out that area, otherwise the front mount isn't going to do much good. Some good side mounts cool better if the front mount isn't getting hit by much air.

[MiniRS4]

dood! ur giving the FMM a bad name, lol.

[Dr.Duct]

you want my help? True thought??

Junk this whole set up. Though it provides low IAT's up front, it is also shown to get heat soak on really hot days. Youll never get fogs to fit with the piping. If you dont want to cut the bumper, you wont have the whole surface exposed, which though you will get air up there it wont be direct, so their will be np pressure behind it.

If you do want to keep it go with either 2.25" piping, or even 2".

[AMC]

^^ he doesnt want fog lights hense he sold em, hes already driven it from my house to his in 85+% temps with no heat soak so im happy it came out good but i personally think it should be fine without cutting the filler plate area it just doesnt look good at all and i doubt there is a huge difference cut or not

It hasn't broken into the 80's here yet this year.

It looks awful when you do that. Mike, DONT CUT IT OUT!

[AMC]

I dont think shoreline has but inland def in the 80's

[GURUMAN]

Nice ride bro !

[AMC]

it hit 80+ today yesterday, the day b4, and the day b4 that where in CT do you live at?

[AMC]

he wont ...i hope lol

[Das General]

you dont have to cut out the front bumper...dont worry

Look who else is in the FMMM

[golovemd]

it hit 80+ today yesterday, the day b4, and the day b4 that where in CT do you live at?

I was in Greenwich today. Definitely not 80's. It was colder yesterday then today. And it hasn't reached 80 yet in Stamford yet which I know for a fact, I doubt Greenwich is 6 degrees hotter then Stamford.

thanks man, yeah i will probably end up having a shop get some custom 2.25 or 2 inch piping as you said. you have to understand with the heatsoak thing lol, is that, if i hit WOT in my car once a week its a lot. im getting the fueling soon maybe that will change but i bet it will only make it less to be honest. i just coudnt justify 1000+ on intercoolers when i just dont use them like that. on a hot day i wont even do a pull unless @ night haha. i do all of this just for my enjoyment, getting on a ramp and nailing it is THRILLING to me . to each their own right! but thanks for the input i will more than likely ditch this piping after fueling. just want to get that juice in there!

yeah it was DEFF. 80+ on saturday. esp friday too. traffic it was OK too, no problem at all, i mean it was warm but we havnt really had HUMID days yet we shall see. whatever, you know me now im not a beast in this car lol

[AudiSportB5S4]

i would never cut that out. holy crap. haha. its SO weird my mom and dad, and even EIGHTY year old aunt thinks it looks "really cool" im like WTF?! [O_O]

[AudiSportB5S4]

Nice ride bro !

thanks man

[o3spec]

im a ricer at heart and i loved the cutout. LOL (i do own a 350z powered sentra haha)

there really isn't much heatsoak in the intercooler just the engine bay from lack of heat shields because of my custom dp's.

did you install an electric rad fan? <-- i recommend this

[AudiSportB5S4]

i should get some nicer shots up, maybe i will tomorrow at the beach, i cleaned her up after we fingered the whole front end hahaha

[o3spec]

yeah thats the one i installed! i hooked it up the the front fog switch, how did you all install yours?

[AudiSportB5S4]

omg what a good idea. shit, lol, mines on Tstat. thats how VAST has the wiring so that if youre a little forgetful sometimes (like myself) it kicks in at 200*

[o3spec]

did you get a tstat with your spal kit or did use a universal one? i was thinking about this because my wife drives the car alot and i cant count on her to remember

[AudiSportB5S4]

we spliced into the one thats there... if i can tomorrow in the AM i will dig up the instructions on wiring. it was fairly simple. i mean i watched lol but nothing crazy

[AudiSportB5S4]

here man. found it

http://www.vastperformance.com/efk_install.doc

[o3spec]

sweet id appreciate it! i think ill put it on a toggle so i can use the fog switch in the winter and thermostat in the summer. because like you said its really noisy id like to be able to turn it off when i want

[o3spec]

thanks

[Ervin87]

will that FMIC fit on the RSR bumper ?
