Just another ETS 3.5" FMIC setup

Because we all love pictures...

Compared to Buschurs Race 4" IC:




Buschurs about 27-28lbs...

ETS about 23lbs...





With the front bumper bolted back up. Undertray fits perfect.


Customer service great. Packing great. Fitment great. Bumper and undertray goes back on with no modifications

I'll be getting a 35r kit from them if they give me a good price on it

Do you own the buschur as well and just decided not to modify your bumper... then purchased the ets and installed instead?

I thought the buschur was somewhat of an overkill. Its that good

Here are a few reasons:

It weighs a ton.

I had fitment issues without their custom $260 licp so I had to get mine custom fitted to the IC.

I also had to lose the front bumper and under tray for it. I wanted them both back on.

Yea you get my drift. Can you imagine driving around without a front bumper

I could have modified it with a disc cutter but I was just too lazy.

Looks awesome man, especially with that crash beam and undertray reinstalled! Thanks for the kind words, we really appreciate it.

Uh, of course it weighs more........it's larger. The front crash beam does bolt back in with our Race FMIC, it is tight, you must not have tried it. You are correct that the stock undertray will not bolt back on directly.

What kind of fitment problem did you have with the lower i/c pipe and which one was it? We install and sell those as fast as we can make them and you are the first I've heard of anyone having a problem.

I know its larger. I was just stating a fact that it weighs a lot. I think its a great FMIC .

It was a horsepowerfreaks LICP. There is no way any other standard LICP will fit a buschur race front mount. I thought it was known that your RACE FMIC needed its own buschur made LICP. Thats why it costs $260 from you. You have no other option
