Anyone who wants a deal on the last production run of these FMIC's shoot me a PM. I'm probably going to get hold of at least some of the last ones.

Cobb Axes There FMIC... So sad

This was COBB's biggest problem. Don't announce or sell a product unless it's ready to hit the market and doesn't have any problems. All that does is piss people off, and then you are selling an unfinished and unperfected product, which pisses people off even more. I bought an AP the day they were available and it was the worst purchase I've made for this car. All it did was made the car run worse with the "out of the box" tunes. Had it been a complete package when I bought it and not a year later, I wouldn't be so pissed.

why pay 160 for an inlet when you can get one from Medieval or PG for 99?
that puzzles me

because some people want silicon and not metal for keeping temps down.
to each their own. i still can't understand why people are so off-put by cpe's fmic. who cares if it's not centered...my temps are better than anyone else in my area

we've proven with dash hawk logs there is no difference between the silicone and steel. we still see temp drops of six degrees or more. i'd say for $99 thats well worth it.
corky bell, godfather of forced induction, goes to great lengths in far better engineering terms and science as to why steel is not only fine, but arguably better, than any other material for heat conductivity in relation to intake pipes and intercooler pipes. a good number of companies, bell engineering included, use stainless steel for charge piping. if your temps are way out of whack, i guarantee you it has more to do with post turbo intercooler efficiency and little to nothing to do with an air inlet.

i could not rock an off center Core. theres no way in hell.
Intercooler kits that have off center cores=FAIL
^ Agreed.
F cobb, that shows how much they care about their paying customers that help to keep them in business. Why $1K for front mount setup? There are companies that charge way less for FMIC setups. Piping $300, core $200, there is your fmic. So all those of you who threw away $1K for cobb front mount, that's not good enough, people b**** too much, therefore they aren't selling them anymore.
Hey next time cobb releases something new make sure you praise them on daily basis for being the bestest company ever!!

very interesting info. thanks. i have a metal inlet, so i was just being devil's advocate...whatever
intercoolers that cool worse but are centered = FAIL
what the **** is cobb going to release next?
Heh, probably nothing for our cars.
intercoolers that cool just a well as cpes, are much cheaper and are centered makes CPE's off centered IC=FAIL(blarf)

can you show me some logs of other fmics cooling as well as cpe's fmic?
my temps are really good without meth. cobb is gone, so don't mention that one.
txs...how well does that cool?
corksport...how well does that cool with it's built in short ram
m3m...does anyone have this installed?
f2...they still making fmic for ms3?
exhaust depot...i don't even want to go there, but i will...
i have mscai and cpe fmic and my bat's are about 15 above ambient at wot, and about 20-30 degrees above ambient cruising/idling
no i dont have logs and FMIC's arent rocket sceience.
im not going to pay boocoo bucks for a name. and off center FMIC.
more power to you dude, but im going to pay less than 450 for my FMIC and achieve the same thing...MORE POWER and have extra money for other mods
people are running meth mostly when fully bolted. so i dont see what meth has to do with this

i'm not running meth...and i mentioned meth because it lowers temperatures silly.
i would also advise RE-THINKING purcahsing an fmic if you want power from it. cause i don't think you'll notice much of a power increase. it makes the turbo spool slower and you could even drop a psi or two. the biggest benefit i found to running an fmic is better temps.
yeah, this is a really good point. some piping kits would be great! and you go and buy your own core.
thats what im doing. buying EDs piping and buying a core from ebay.
how do you like the ED piping kit and how does it perform
economics
+1
Really doesn't surprise me at all considering so few people buy the FMIC kit. Same goes for their SS kit and probably very soon, if not already, their downpipe/TBE.
