........ Actually, that is one of the great advantages of these ICs..... Remember though, not all big FMICs are created equal. Greddy makes extremely good, well designed products.....

I love the cast endtanks of the greddy fmic. The transitions are much smoother than the stocker. That alone should yield less pressure drop. Air flow path should have less resistance compared to stock. The core type of the greddy appears to be the same as stock, tube and fin.

Yeah, it's been a horrible experience up until recently. First all the problems with the upgrades and the tuning and then I get rear ended on top of that

Looks like I'm finally getting the support I need to get the car up to it's potential

I took it to Ricky's Collision Care Center. They are located in Marietta. They did some work on our company's van and it looked pretty good, so I went there. They also appear to do a lot of work on Mercedes and other high end cars....
