Had to do some wrestling around with the Injen upper piping to make it match up
(Had to use stock elbow to connent to intercooler)
(RnR piping probably fits perfect to it)
Fighter's garage lower piping had to me modified
(1" cut out of middle and put back together)
(RnR piping probably fits perfect to it)
Couldn't get crash beam back on after install
Had to cut parts of metal brackets off bumper so they didn't rub the intercooler
BUT...after a couple hours of yelling, swearing, and smoking...it's on and looks great. Afterwards we took it for a drive...3 people in the car so I couldn't tell how much power I actually gained. Maybe tomorrow night I'll go for a joy ride.

Ya, I guess we should do a little install faq for you guys. The Race FMIC fits like a glove, but I guess we need to print something up to make it a little easier. We have installed about 30 of these here at the shop so it is like 2nd nature I guess. It does fit the factory crash beam and bumper.

LOL.....yeah man I'm pretty pumped to get this thing on the car so i can eat civics left and right....hahahaha.....at the ring on sunday i was eatin sti's all day long....8 min flat laptimes bridge to bridge.....of course i had to go through traffic and some accidents plus there was some wet spots on the track you really had to slow down for.....but there's always some bmw's that never learn and just get magnetized to the armco's and ruin the fun by dropping oil and closing the track for all of us 
.....anyways yeah back on topic this intercooler is da heat....
