MAM FMIC VS. Perrin Fmic

[SeR_Cyclops]

hey, well i was wondering the performance gains of the mam fmic vs. the perrin fmic. i know that the perring fmic has a shorter pipe route but a bigger core and the mam fmic has pipes that changes size? so what do you all think? thanks for any answers you all are awesome (dance).

I think the perrin is better because the shorter piping means more air flow faster to the motor

when I first installed my perrin fmic I actually picked up acouple tenths.

hummm yeah.... true

Remember though, the perrin is a 28 x 9.25 x 3.5 core. The MAM was a 24 x 6 x 3.5 core. The shorter piping is mostly negated by the HUGE core, and you probably won't notice any quicker response between the two.

anyone else?

I have the MAM kit (modified) and it's a wicked setup. Plus I don't have to worry about getting in a front end collision...

i have the Perrin and can't complain, i love it

hummm i wonder what the gains are

MAM vs. Ion vs. Perrin?

i know the perrin kit made like 23.XX hp and the ion claims to be low 20's

what are your goals?

perrin is overkill if your arent looking for huge numbers.

in would some day like to go forged and push 20psi but it will be a few years if i even keep the car that long for short term as soon as i get the kit i will be at 9psi with piggyback, open down pipe, intake, wastegate and motor mounts and soon a intake mani.

 

[mazdaspeedwerx]

where are you getting the mam from? and I remember hearing bad things about ion from alooong time ago. I think they may have been banned from here for something. same as mam

 

[SeR_Cyclops]

from 505zoom it is a used kit and ill have to get a intercooler to fit it.

 

[SeR_Cyclops]

im just tired of waiting on the perrin kit from turbo life

Yeah the MAM has the most intelligent pipe design (starting with 2" and then going to 2.5") but I just hate the fact that it's routed through the driver's side wheel well. I agree, I think the Perrin's core is too big. Too bad there isn't a compromise somewhere. The nearest thing is Corksport's.

 

[SeR_Cyclops]

so why is it good to go from 2 to 2.5? i always wondered this

I'm not certain on the details (I should be though) but I'd imagine it helps with boost response as the air will be moving faster in the smaller piping. However it just might have been a size/space requirement. 505zoom would probably know this better than I could explain.

humm im going to be running the corksport core on the mam pipes, maxxmazda runs the same set up. max i would like to know how you secured the core to the support beam?

Made some L brackets and drilled into the core. There's a mounting location to drill into on the sides. Then jsut stick it up under the bumper rebar, and it'l lfit.

 

[SeR_Cyclops]

cool, do you have any pics of your set up?
