I recently installed this ARC fmic and I was just wondering if this is how its supposed to look installed. I am wondering about the gap from the intercooler to the bumper.

 

It's kind of hard to tell how far away it is. Are those brackets on the bottom of the IC? If so, do they match up? You aren't rubbing on your AC fan or PS loop, are you?

 

Im not exactly sure what that bracket on the bottom of the intercooler is for.
I had to make my own bracket to use the oem intercooler support on the radiator support in order to hang the intercooler.
There are also 2 other mounting spots on the bottom of the intercooler which I haven't utilized yet. If your looking at the fmic head on it looks kinda like _ - _ as far as mounting points are concerned.
It is only kinda rubbing on one spot on the radiator fan. But other than that there are no rubbing issues. I am going to make some new brackets to utilize all mounting points and try to avoid all rubbing conditions.

 

I have an ARC intercooler on a evo 8 bumper as well. I will have to take a look again, but I think mine has that same gap.

 

Ok thanks, if you could let me know that would be great..

 

It looks to be mounted up just like yours. For reference, I don't have the underbody panel on. You can see that there is that gap there.

 

Ok nice thanks for the pic. I don't have the underbody panel either.
