lol that would suck if you had a super modified car and had to take it back to stock to pass the test and install all that junk agian after passing!!! but guys my fmic came in today and its got a dent in the top and it has crushed some of the fins. if you turn it the other way you can not tell i reported it to ups but i might not finish all the way through with it i dont want to keep waiting to install this mamajamma!!
Pfft.. last time I took my car to a mechanic at Mazda.. they asked me what my car was. lol
meh just gotta know backdoors to trick the system...i dont run cats, egr, vtcs, or vics and i pass every year
how much and what condition? cause im getting a super deal on a corksport one, but if the price is right i might go fer yours.
i would go through with it if i were you...the core might have a leak or something and then you would be screwed...but that just my opinion
Make me an offer...but I was thinking of getting the CS one myself.
Just PM me..I will likely miss it in this thread if you do it here.

the ups claim will take about 2 weeks. its a corksport fmic 26x6x3.5 its really nice, just that one small place if you turn it around you cant even see it so i think thats what im going to do!

It wouldnt hurt to just wait the time, it is better to wait and get a new product that you know is undamaged instead of installing now and finding out later you have a leak and having to pay for repairs or pay for a new one, plus the risk of running too hot because you assume you have a working IC. That is just my opinion but two weeks may be worth the peace of mind.
I need an opinion from all of you. I'm getting an intake and cannot decide on a color, i have a laser blue mica MSP. I have no other mods in the engine bay, my options are blue, gray, red, or polished. The only other color on my car comes from the struts that come factory installed on the MSP and they are red. any help would be appreciated.
I'd go polished, works well with the engine bay if you polish the heat shield and get an ADP, hard pipes, etc... you get the idea LOL
