someone mentioned that an AMS will fit with a Beatrush undertray i was wonderin if it would fit with a Carbing ......

Just take a look behind the OEM intercooler; on the bottom of the radiator support there are 4 bolt holes. As long as your intercooler doesn't hang father than 1" to 1.5" below those holes, Carbing will work.

If you want to keep your factory chassis brace (3-bolt one), you'll need to cut a 1.5" x 1.5" square out of the carbing panel, 5 min w/ a dremel.

I run Carbing w/ a Perrin FMIC - the Perrin FMIC fits fine w/ the OEM underpanel as well.

the obx fits without cutting the tray, it is a knockoff of the perrin. It took a little modification of the barcets to get it to fit up clean, but if you have a dremel and some washers handy you should be fine.

Just a regular old cutting disc. I attached a pic.
