You changed the car so much.

Congrats.

How is she running?
Do you feel a difference?
 
One thing I noticed is that I have a little more boost and vacum now. I was at 18-19 Vac now I am 20-21 same with the boost, Its steady at 6.5 07. RUns great but I really dont have much of an ass dyno to tell a great big difference.
 
Its definitely a great mod. In my case, it made a big difference combined with my other mods. Can't beat the price either.

Yes I hope to combine it with a Vibrant exhaust one day.

How much do those run?? Looks very nice. I think one of these might eventually be in my future.
 
For Me the SMIC, One big reason is the VA Front License plate why have a FMIC when the plate blocks a lot of the air. The SMIC is really big and nothing blocks the air flow. 2nd Its easier to install. Pull a few bolts the fan pipes and your done. I may rather have a FMIC but the price is outta my range and not really worth it with the VA tags. You cant loose with the Custom SMIC.

Hey DOes ANYONE have the SAmco hose with an aftermarket BOV? I noticed the samco has a flange for the stock BOV...?
 
hmmm was thinking about getting the FMIC. but im going for the hardpipes from **********. Hit up Cullen at ********** if you have any questions about parts. tell him chad sent you .
 
It's the best SMIC for the protege IMO. Pressure tested with zero pressure loss. Some higher quality intercoolers have greater pressure losses, yeah, good intercooler... good price, and definetly good quality and post sale service.
