Ets 4" ftw!!

 

thanks ets for your answer ... i hope there is no lag difference between both i am ordering your kit then and yes didn't bought the f1 intake manifold that i will do after ic upgrade ....... will ams upper pipe fits to your intercooler ???

btw liked your titanium pipings its so amazing first i was checking ets website i clicked ic kits it was not showing there but when i checked ic pipes wow keep up the good work

 

btw i used to ams vsr on stock ic and pipings it just bolted plug and play strange

 

I ran the ETS 4" core for a while, I was able to get it in there without any trimming to the bumper but I did have to remove the crash beam. I have since moved up to a 5" ETS core and will have to do some trimming on the bumper now

 

@sho669
thx good help on this ...have you fitted your ic and tell me how much trimming to your bumper and any difference in lag or just not noticeable i would love to see pics

 

I ran the ETS 4" core and did not have to remove the front crash bar.

What I did though was to bend the little ears on the crash bar that would touch the top front corners of the IC to get the crash bar to fit.

 

was thinking the same when surfing ets pics but in 5 inch i wanna see how much damage i have to do lol

 

I haven't fitted the 5" yet due to the roll cage being built and the whole car being apart. The 4" fit JUST behing the bumper without trimming, I did re-bend the P/S cooler lines a little for clearance and mounted it directly to the core support without using spacers though.

I went with the 5" because I'm going to be running the EFR9180 with hopes of BIG hp and the 100+ degree temps here in the summer are cause for a huge fmic!

heres a pic of the stock vs. 4" ETS


I sold the 4" before I recieved the 5" but I do have a pic of it for size comparison, 5" FMIC vs. 4yr old

 

that this is dammmmmmmnnnnnnn huge .......... it will cut my bumper .. thanks for posting up your pics and btw cute daughter ... i love kids

 

Thanks! She likes working on the car with me.

I also made the switch to 3" pipes on the FMIC so my cutting will probably be a little more extreme than using the 2.5" pipes. My car is a IX and the bumper mesh didn't even have to be removed to get the 4" in there, I was pretty happy about that.

You can see in the pic of the two how the bigger IC outlet comes out where the factory one does after the 45 degree coupler. Fits with standard piping

 

so cute ..

your right 4 inch will do my job done without cutting my bumper ..that would be better ..that 5 is good for 40 or 42r kits ..thanks once again
