FMIC with Stock bumper options

[oettinger1919]

Having trouble finding anything on this forum about the subject but im wondering what are some decently priced FMIC setups that fit well with the stock bumper...

[Rhinop21]

I have an ebay special that fits fine behind the bumper. I got it here in the classifieds for 170 shipped no problems at all so far.

Rhino, your tire direction is backwards. Did you fix this already?

[docurley]

RaceTec do one and if you have a look in the GB section you may get a good deal.

I have the RaceTec and it was pretty easy to get in. Only a slight amount of trimming was needed. This cost me around $750 when it was on sale at the time.

I've since drilled holes (unnoticeable) in the valance to take care of that bulge.

Racetec is your best bet, but they still dont have any in stock yet. Most likely will be right around the first of next month.

There are several threads on the subject. Ebay fmic, fmic with stock bumper, etc..

+1 for racetec, good fit, minimal trimming and it retains the fogs.

i didnt say there wasnt any info, i said im having trouble finding it. this search engine is mega effing lame

Here is my Greedspeed FMIC, High quality piece, custom piping though, but I am still going to redo them to tuck in more, PITA to put the bumper bolts in, have to push on the pipes.






Seriously it took about 10 hours of custom work and such to get it to fit. Lots of trimming.

But IMHO its worth it, I dont like people (including cops) to know what the heck is in there...

Also for you black paint haters, on the fins it is literally a mist of paint just to get rid of the polished look, I scuffed it up and it sticks great! High temp engine paint.

I've always wondered, does painting/powder coating/anodizing/or in other ways colouring an FMIC black cut down on efficiency at all?
I would think logically that it would be a little harder to dissipate heat if the metal isn't directly exposed to the air, no?

ohhhhhhhhh ok

Anodizing does not decrease efficiency since it does not coat the surface.

I think when it comes to a black intercooler it theoretically would spread all the heat evenly across the entire surface which is ideal on an intercooler. If the thing was dipped in black then no it probably wouldnt be very effcient but otherwise black is the best color for cooling

ALSO, who sells racetec? i cannot find them on anything.
