Re: Is this a good fmic?

It could be... The only thing I don't like about that kit is the long route the piping takes... The short route ones are better IMO...

It doesn't look *too* bad, but you could probably find something a little better quailty for maybe a little more. I don't know about the "Welded on Blitz DD Blow-Off Valve", that scares me a little.

Dude look at the length of that piping! I would definately not get that.

Yea look around some more. You can find a cheaper core and do your own piping. You could also throw up more money and get a nice kit from a none e bay vender. Or just find a better kit from e bay. I wouldn't go with that 20ft of piping though!

or should i get the one with the really long piping and buy some more piping and modify it to run a short route?

Re: Is this a good fmic?

I am going to say no. I dont know what it looks like on the inside, but that looks like a even worse idea than the uber duber long route piping. I would just get a biggish eBay FMIC and some of the "DIY pipes" with all the couplers, t bolts, then they have like 2 striaght pipes, 2 45's, 2 60's, and 2 90's or whatever. That should do it for you.
