Anyone know if there is anything I can do to straighten my fmic? Just installed it today and it doesn't seem to be centered in the shroud. Thanks!

About to install the ETS 3.5 inch IC on my 09 Ralliart and there is a metal tab at bottom of IC with 2 holes that line up with 2 threaded holes on bottom rad support.
ETS did not include them with my IC. Anyone know what size, length thread pitch etc. these bolts are as I don't want my IC looking crooked. LOL!

Doesn't this just boil down to the fact that it's attached by those hangers..?

I think you have to remove the bumper again and simply slide the core to the side a little (unless the piping is causing that to not be a possibility)

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the AMS intercooler just hangs by the rubber hangers only right? I vaguely remember noticing this in the video where rallysport direct installs it on their EVO

The AMS FMIC has 2 additional brackets welded on the underside, that bolt up behind the crash beam to the car.

I just installed mine last weekend and this guide was perfect!

How was the fitment of yours? You got the AMS piping as well?

It fit great. Not slanted or angled at all. I have all HKS piping.
