Price information has arrived!

For the front mount kit that utilizes the stock pipes, the price for forum members will be $749 plus shipping. Keep in mind that with the stock plastic pipes this intercooler kit has posted what I feel are the most improved and best efficiency numbers of any FMIC currently available on the market. The hardpipes will be available as an option to this package, which can be powder coated black or red, for an additional $115.

Questions and comments are welcome!

EDIT :: Specifications and Numbers showing MUCH Improved Performance and Efficiency over Stock Intercooler! Pictures Coming!

Eagerly awaiting price, specs, & pics. :D
Corky Bell, Trey and Stephanie at BEGi have been communicating back and forth with me on this kit for some time now. Bryan and I have given them as much input as possible on what we think will make for a great FMIC kit.

They will get one of these (yippy) if it's not off center like all the other fmic kits out there.

I have the Corky Bell FMIC on my vtec msp. works like a charm!

say bye bye to heat soak (2thumbs)
 
I was about to PM you about this. This is great news! I can't wait to hear details.
 
They've been real busy over there this past week, but I am told they will send me some snapshots of the entire setup on Tuesday. They are extremely pleased and noted a pressure increase as well as an efficiency increase that they hope to have documented in numbers next week. There is some cutting required up front for the pipes, but they stressed thats not much at all nor does it compromise the vehicle in any way. Also, they left about 4 inches side to side (and a few inches to move it back) for the installation of a larger radiator core. Some part of the IC kit does occupy the spot where the old IC sat at. Tuesday should bring final pricing, final pics and final efficiency numbers.

thanks for everyone's patience and thanks to chris for his vote of support :D
 
Wow this is great news! Perrin is coming out with a fmic as well so there is gonna be a huge variety to choose from now. I cant wait to see pics and prices.
