Michael@ETS - I like the density of your FMIC core. I had a GReddy FMIC on my old Eclipse and it looks a lot like the other core you showed where the air goes "straight through".
What I dont understand is how the density affects air flow. If this were an exhaust system, you would prefer the straight through style because you would be passing the air through faster. Obviously in the case of an FMIC, the more contact the air makes with the fins the better it can cool, but are there any downsides to the additional obstructions vs a straight through design? I know a larger FMIC delays spool time, but Im not sure what the density of the core influences.
