Bigger ATI air filter guys in here Hey need some help to figure out how to mount this bigger K&N filter with the twin intercooler in the way. What are your setups? Any pics? Lists of supplies needed like what was used to go from the 3.5 to 4 inch inlet. Thanks for any help.
Or go with a big FMIC and then you can fit a filter in there like mine......
You can see how much bigger this filter is..... compared to the stocker that came with the kit..... its for a mustang and alot of the parts i got from Home depot racers supply (Home Depot)

I will post up pics of my new FMIC tonight when I pick up my car at Synergy Motorsports here in the bay. Rebuilt motor (thanks to the warranty on the car from honda. all work done at Synergy, not Honda), LT's and a custom FMIC. Can't wait to see the new power.
sweet deal...i assume single t-88...where are you going to mount it and what power are you expecting...be sure to take a lot of pics...i'd like to go twins but i doubt that will happen...especially not soon...college 
also why the 6-speed? i know that is what I would want but i was wondering why you were switching over

I will be sure i have lots of pics and ill post up my progress you guys know that.... im on here all the time all day long....

No you don't have to cut anything else. All we did for my setup was turn the out put to aim towards the front right fender. Then used a u turn pipe to the intercooler, and another u turn pipe, then up to the throttle body. I will try an post some pics tomorrow.

Its not hard at all.... with the new piping the BIG filter fits easy.

Yes the red piece is a BOV i took it off and was going to go with a Vortech MONDO bypass, but i decided to sell the blower kit and go turbo..... yes the whole front clip and bumper support have to come off the car to do this.

I know this may seem like a stupid Q but why do you need a BOV? How much was the FMIC? The more I read about it the more I want to do this. By the way thanks for the pics and help. I also noticed you have a dual fan set up. what kind of fans are they? any fitting issues?
