Beatrush fitment question with AMS FMIC and Piping

Hi,

First, I recently had AMS upper and lower I/C piping and an AMS FMIC installed at Dentsport Garage here in MA. Made a tremendous difference in my car. On their Dyno Dynamics dyno, I gained 30 WHP peak, but even more importantly ~75 on the top-end with these parts and a cone intake (from a drop-in panel K&N)!

Anyway, my stock underpanel was not in good shape, and I'm currently running no underpanel, but I would like to get the Beatrush (considered the Carbing as well).

After many searches, I've found a few posts that the Beatrush fits with the AMS FMIC and piping. The posts said with no modification, but I just wanted to clarify if /how the front bracket fits on the AMS FMIC per these instructions, or if with no modification meant that the front bracket was not used. Is it strong "enough" with the other mounting points?

TIA!

I'm wondering the same thing myself. I have ETS lower and am getting the AMS 3.5" IC and want to make sure things will fit with the beatrush.

Wondering the same... If I remember correctly, you can't use the stock center bracket and need to "fab" up your own to prevent sag in the middle, but I can't put my hands on that post right now.

I'd like confirmation on this too.

Mine fit with no problems. The instructions I got were in Japanese, but there are some blurry pictures as well. Its time consuming if you stick with the hex head bolts. I went with dzus fasteners personally. A little work early, means you can take the whole thing off in a minute.
