Installing Buschur "RACE" FMIC... Have ?'s

Hey Guys, I am going to be installing a Buschur "RACE" FMIC in the next couple of days. I am currently running Helix upper and lower IC pipes. Do you think i should have a problem with the fitment of the lower IC pipe since it's a Helix and not a Buschur?? Also, for those who have installed the "RACE" fmic what modifications did you have to make other than trimming the lower splash guard; Did you have to remove the front Crash beam, remove IC sprayers, or trim the bumper??? Any help before the install would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

On his website, it says the only thing you have to trim is the crash bar. As for the i/c pipes, i am not sure. I do not have this Intercooler. Send Dave a PM.

You have to trim the metal surround that holds the lower grille in on the bumper. other than that im assuming your pipes will work I heard thelix pipes are not 2.5 there smaller... so u may want to upgrade those

Why did you decide to go with the Race FMIC?

The "DELUXE" FMIC is a great deal at $695 and comes with the lower IC pipe. But, since i already had the HELIX upper and lower IC pipes, i decided to go with the "RACE" FMIC since it is larger and is the same price (but obviously doesn't come with a lower IC pipe) Hope that made sense Thanks for all the responses, keep em coming...

I will be installing my Race FMIC in a few days so bump for information. From what I have read it looks like there will be some crash bar trimming, splash guard adjusting, and the bumper adjustment to get a proper fit.

The IC sprayer stays
