whats thebiggest FMIC you can go with in stock front

[Talon69]

I have beend searching but cannot come up with any solid dimensions. So what would be the best size to use with minor hacking if i had to?

[SLoe]

I know a guy who did a 10x28x3.5 on a 2g.

Black99GST is running a 12x30x3 and I dont think he had to hack much. Thats the same size I'm going to run

[scottsee]

quite alot of people on Dsmtuners are running the XO Ebay frontmount with great results.

24x12x3.5, major hacking required, forget about keeping the actual bumper

[jdoug]

Yep, with a 24x12 you pretty much lose the actual bumper (and fogs in my case) but there's not much actual hacking to the bumper cover itself-- just the top "lip" and a little around the inner edges.

Rest assured--hacking will be necessary. Unless maybe you feel like downgrading to a Starion fmic

It isn't the biggest intercooler you should be striving for, but the one that compliments your setup the best.

Yeah, word up, but how do you know what FMIC fits your setup best?

G/rev airflow, compressor effency, and your PSI

Sorry about opening this old post again but i did not want to start a new thread. so with my evo 3 big 16g what would be the best one to get without doing alot of cutting? I see alot of different sizes you all use but which one is less pain? Also it will probably not matter what FMIC i go with my fog lights will be gone wont they?

I'm going with a 24.5x12x3 with a small 16g

Not necessarily. Many 2G kits let you keep the fogs, although I'm not totally sure about 2Ga Talons. You'll just need to shop around a little at places like AMS, SlowBoy, Victory Performance, FP, AGP, and I'm sure there's several others I'm forgetting.

what size should i go with on the inlet and outlet. 2inch to small? should i go with at least 2.5
