I couldnt see how I could get it to fit, it is the same width as the radiator....

Wow, that's a nice piece of work.

That will fit in the lower opening of the Leg grill, with some of the top side being shrouded by the bumper bar.

Those air passages dont look very large. Its trange that they are finned also. I thought that the rectangular porntions were empty and the fins were external and connected the sqaure tubes. looks very restrictive to me.

Mine has internal fins as well. They are smooth, not like the external fins. I don't think they add much restriction, but help with the heat transfer immensly with so much suface area.

OK, drank too much and did ebay bidding (if the damn Caddilac Escalade goes for $200 its mine!!!!)

But anyway, I now own this FMIC. I'll let you know how it fits.

And since it was so cheap, if it doesnt fit, I bet/know that it will have some decent resale value.

Now I have to find a piping kit. There are alot of them available on Ebay, just gonna take my time this time. right......

But I will get the FMIC installed first so I can see what I need first, I hope.

Which one did you buy?

douglas vincent · Post by **douglas vincent** » Mon Feb 20, 2006 5:10 pm

the first one , the small one

magicmike · Post by **magicmike** » Mon Feb 20, 2006 5:17 pm

I'd like to know how you make out with this.

douglas vincent · Post by **douglas vincent** » Mon Feb 20, 2006 10:19 pm

And I picked up for $135 shipped the piping and connectors as well.

So total cost is $245!

Good prices.

Cool!

If you have the means, I highly recommend putting beads on the pipes to retain the couplers.

BAC5.2 · Post by **BAC5.2** » Tue Feb 21, 2006 1:42 am

Was that pipe kit specifically for the legacy? What was the deal with that? Just random pipes and some connectors?

douglas vincent · Post by **douglas vincent** » Tue Feb 21, 2006 1:54 am

Yeah, just a 8 piece set that I will cut to fit.

free5ty1e · Post by **free5ty1e** » Wed Mar 01, 2006 1:41 pm

Definately put some sort of lippage on those pipes so they don't blow apart under pressure.

I used self-tapping screws after a while of unsuccessfully trying to get my couplers to stay together (don't worry, I removed the resulting metal shavings inside the pipes before reinstalling them)

BAC5.2 · Post by **BAC5.2** » Thu Mar 02, 2006 8:06 pm

Chris, SELF TAPPING SCREWS??? That's real ghetto.
