Ion fmic

Hello everyone, i just want to know where can i buy the ION FMIC, because i check the ion web and i dont found the option of buy.

(hump)

I don't think they are making them any more. I may be wrong.

 

[Wagonbacker9]

haven't for quite a while... if you happen to get one used, thats your only option. why is the ion kit the one you want?

 

[GiJoe]

There are alot of other FMIC's made for these cars now.

 

[JasonBourne]

which FMIC would you recomend?

 

[GiJoe]

They all do the same. Price wise, probably AlteredCustoms. Or, I am a fan of the TurboLife.

 

[yudkib]

turbolife if youre willing to remove the crash bar and risk losing your insurance/life (theres a ton of people who do it)
altered customs if you dont. i'm sure jenn will pop up to point out her site.

i recommend a DIY FMIC. pick up a core of your choice... a CX racing kit with piping and couplers off of ebay... and check out my how-to.

stay away from ion with a 1mile pole

I bought one of the last exhausts from them

not only was it WAY too much money, the quality was crap.

Buy another fmic or do the wagonbacker way!

good luck

Ah I forgot about your thread.. good thing you are always willing to give you .02.

 

[Wagonbacker9]

I should really get on redoing my hot pipe.. but I'm lazy.

 

[GiJoe]

Whats wrong with it?

 

[Wagonbacker9]

its routed under the frame... which leaves it too exposed for my preference. only had a problem once.. but once is plenty.

 

[GiJoe]

Scraping?

 

[Wagonbacker9]

no, just smacked it into a parking barrier once when I was in a hurry/not paying attention. I've got it tucked right up against the frame rail, so it doesn't scrape.. its just... less than ideal.

 

[GiJoe]

Ah gotcha. well you could always take your SMIC out and mount a bracket for the radiator and run your pipe through there. I think your FMIC is small enough. been a while since I've seen the pictures.

 

[Wagonbacker9]

I've considered it... but to do it I'd have to notch out the crash bar and run the pipe through it. haven't decided if I want to go that way or out around the pass headlight yet...

 

[GiJoe]

Might as well go out passed the head light. Probably be quicker and easier.

wagonbacker9, do you have the link of the how to?
