Best FMIC and piping

I don't want to cut my front bumper or mess with crash bar / splash pan...

What is the best FMIC and SET UP /Configuartion (Short Route, stock BOV etc.)?

I have a Evo 9 MR.

Was think of going with ETS 3.5", short route, stock EVO 9 BOV

OR AMS, same set up

Looking to go low 11s. Car went 12.66 @ 110 with a few mods. Next step is tranny/clutch and bigger FMIC / piping.

Any thoughts, ideas or other sugestions would be greatly appreciated!

Either of those will do for your goals. Obviously short route piping is the best and a IX bov should suffice. There was/is a thread around that had results of various front mounts and there gains. I believe the ets was amoungst the top.

I'm an ETS guy myself, if you only need 11s the ETS 2.5" piping is fine up to 650-700hp, short route of course, the ix bov is good but its known to be unreliable and can leak past 23-26psi. You can get up the 3.5" ETS intercooler without modding the bumper. Looks like pure win to me! Just make sure they send you the right couplers

I went with the ets set up, short route requires small battery kit as well, I also went with a hks SSQV IV. Couldn't be happier especially the 3.5" core.

I love AMS products and I'm happy now that I went with their intercooler. ETS is good as well and less expensive but the AMS ic is art work

The AMS fits behind the crash beam, don't know if ETS does.

This. Just pick a company with a good reputation that uses the Garret core. Don't get bogged down by branding as there will be a lot of bias involved with any FMIC comparison.
