Can a FMIC be shortened? How to fit to my car

[doug294]

I bought a FMIC that is aprox 33 in long from tank to tank. Before I bought it I measured it and it would fit. Well turns out the guy gave me the core length and not the actual length and now it's too long. Can the core be shortened? If not how could I get this on my 91 Civic HB? anyone who has pictures of this on the 88-91 civic/crx would help. Thanks, for the help

If its too long then theres no other way to do it. Unless if you get a bodykit and custom fit the intercooler so it'll sit right in there. That FMIC size is usually for supras,nissans etc....
