Hey all,
What are people's impressions of the CS FMIC kit for the MS3 specifically regarding thoughts on the ram intake replacing the region where the TMIC previously was located? IMO it has me somewhat skeptical here's why. Won't this design result in heat soaking air at a stand still? To me it begs the same argument many have had with an SRI vs a CAI. Granted cool air from outside the engine bay will rush in immediately as opposed to sucking in hot air inside the engine bay but the initial heat soak is still present as far as I can see. Will the air box walls heat up too much as a result heating up the air?
Does the ram ducting under the hood need to create a relatively good seal will engine movement esp w/ the stock MM's allow the engine to move too much to reduce the efficiency of this design.
Clearly CS has done their research & testing as they've noted and I'm not knockin' on their design frankly I like it its a little different and a little out of the box. What knowledge do others have to share with this conversion? Performance wise would this sway you's out there from another setup lets say COBBs with their SRI?
Thanks (sorry for the long initial post)
