FS: nisei front mount inter cooler fmic

where u at lol. Neways ARC front mount has one of the more better air flows then most fmic there have been 7 shops that have tested this fmic vs AMS, B/R , Greddy vspec ,HKS type R , XS and a few others this fmic came out on top everytime and can hold up to 825 whp without droping any airflow the only one that came close was the HKS Type R which droped air pressure at 35 psi and droped the hp almost 8% . Bottom line do some research.
bottomline i don't see your research...
also the hks core should not drop that much psi because of its very bad design, ti's basically a vspec with some fins in it which means it should pass all the air uninhibited.
also... dropping any air flow compared to what? stock? compared to itself? compared to other cores? compared to a straight pipe? across the intercooler? which means you had two pressure sensors set up? get your facts straight.
my opinion on the arc and this you should not take as fact.
the arc is a great intercooler, THE BEST TUBE FIN MADE, PERIOD. why do i say this? simply for one reason, QUALITY. the large problem with tube fin cores is that they're fragile and also they have a bit of "header" sticking out of the "head" (hence the interchangeable name tube header core). arc gives you the quality of an immaculately produced piece so you don't have to worry about unequal header lengths, uneven header fusing, uneven fin fusing and other such unpleasantries.
with that said the arc core uses the traditional louvered fin design and for those that have SEEN the inside of an arc core, that **** is DENSE. it's packed very tightly but VERY neatly.
the arc is a fantastic piece, it's light and it will cool well, it will do so with pressure drop but due to it's size your air mass flow will not be compromised (therefore you can flow the hp numbers).
does it cool air better than other intercoolers on the market? i don't believe so, but it gets a good job done while weighing significantly less. you do get what you pay for in this instance and that above all else is quality.
so where does the AMS FMIC stand... if the ARC is in first and the Nisei is in 2nd...????
