best fmic?

[DigitalHeadShot]

I know this is an overplayed question but after doing hours of searching I want to try to add the top 3 contenders under one roof and get reason why one is better than the other.. does anyone know the claimed hp gains of each.

my idea of top three may be diffrent than someone eles but thats the three I looking into. I dont really want to see who is king of the hill but want to know what people think of each, stories, pro and cons.. That way it will help ladys and gents like myself find which is best for whom ever.

1 iON performance
2 hiboost
3 wagner

peace.

There was just a whole thread about this with both Hi-Boost and iON contributing their input.

im not sure what I want to do down the road..
yes, yes another which fmic to get. Reason im writting this is beacause after hours of reading fmi's threads there is little knowledge of the wagner out there and I think it should be thrown in with the other dominating champs.

to go back to the start, about I dont know what I want to do first I mean im picking fmi first. I know wagner comes with intake and iON and hiboost can both use injen etc..

im just wondering PEOPLES impressions on each.. the real people.. I dont care about a couple of hp diffrence. Im talking peoples install pains, funtimes, looks.. just how do you guys feel about each other..

so yes and no this is just another fmi thread. But not to many others ask that question of how the real driver feels about it.

I want to know why everyone says iON is better? excluding the few hp differance it makes over other fmic's. So please bare with me and share your opinions

thanks.

I knew you would say number 1 zoom haha.. as far as the other peeps WHY!!!! number one??? (bowdown) please share why..

also if you dont like my questions dont post back. whats the point of anyone asking a question on this or anyother thread? To get a few answers. And I have spent HOURS reading threads.. pros and cons and I did read every post on the hiboost vs iON but I wanted to throw the other in.

It really depends on your goals, if you want to cut, what you want to pay, and who you like dealing with.


This really has been covered very thoroughly, I hate to say it but stick to your search and make a decision that you will be happy with.

Has HiBoost ever posted dyno results? Not that I'm aware of. So we don't even know that Ion's is the best, performance wise.

you know it, iON baby (headbang)

 

[mazdaowner123]

I vote iON as well. It's the one I'll be getting eventually because I want to upgrade the radiator for track days. I don't think the other two allow a bigger radiator due to running the piping where the stock IC was.

i vote hiboost. super easy install, looks great and i dont care if i got mild steel pipes. another plus hiboost is in stock.

 

[1FASTMP5]

i have the hiboost and love it! (headbang)

 

[low_psi]

hold out for the BEGI kit..... and a possible MSUSA kit...

 

[Wha'Happened]

dont forget GReddy...or wait, did GReddy forget us????

 

[DigitalHeadShot]

thanks for all input peeps.. Well I have contacted all 3 companies and there all close to the same price. I may or may not have understood but hiboost and wagner both have kits rdy to come out now. I wasnt sure with iON but from what people say there is a wait. (dont mark my word on iON not 100%.

[mazdaowner123]

Yeah, like mx3 said, BEGI and Mazdaspeed kits both look promising, but of the three you selected I'd go with iON. I can't wait to see what BEGI and hopefully MS come up with though.
