so on the 2010, with the revised brackets, you can't use the rubber grommet(off stock fmic) and have to take off that black metal L bracket that held on the stock fmic right? i mounted it directly to the chasis w/o any rubber, just the screw and 2 washers. (that were holding that L bracket on)

also did not see in the ams instructions to disconnect battery so i didn't.

anyone else install the 2010 yet?

 

correct i did the install on my 2010 i didnt use the rubber grommets either. Also had to take off the black bracket that holds on the stock fmic.

 

Yeah OP you did it properly. The 2008-09 model AMS FMIC used the rubber grommets but the 2010+ model does not. No clue why Mitsu changed the mounting styles between 2 years. NO battery disconnect required. Reuse your factory couplers and lube them inside with some wd-40 a little to allow easier installation.

 

sweet thanks, just double checking cuz it seemed odd when i couldn't find the "remove 4 bolts and the weight" part.

 

Can anyone post pics of this? 08 vs 10

 

Interested to see pictures of this, we haven't had one complaint on the front mount intercooler install for the 2010+ and we use the OEM mounts on the bottom and the side.
