exactly if you are happy with it then definitly go with it! me, im not gonna be able to throw any more money at the motor for a while so the extra for the manifolds are a good investment for me to pick up that hp, plus it will carry over when i start boosting some double diget numbers. but ya if i was really tight on funds i wouldn't have a problem using the stock headers. im sure either way it will work great!

And thats exactly why he made both kits. Something for everyone. Personally, I like the budget kit, but Im also not wanting 600+rwhp. The budget kit would suit my needs just fine and my car hardly ever sees the track, so I just want a fun/fast cruiser. For the people more race oriented, I wouldnt bother with the budget kit. Especially if you want to upgrade later down the road. Do it right the 1st time save yourself the money.

at phamspeed.com they say you can add a fmic to your kit for $150,what size is that?it cant be that big for $150,right?!

Im guessing its probably pretty small. Maybe he will chime in and let us know.

can LT1-7 jump on here and say how big the FMIC is for the extra $150 buck?

you are right, however i think that is with kit purschse, you pay 150 for the intercooler and they dont send you a charge pipe. I am thinking that the intercooler costs more than 150 if you just bought hot parts or something like that.

From what I understand, deletion of the charge pipe = $200 off purchase price + 150 for the IC, hence $50 less than an equal kit without the IC. Seems like the IC is infact $150, with kit purchase of course.

whom has told you that?
that really doesnt make any sense at all, but I suppose that could be right.

Thanks

Go to their website and read the entire package description.

"Comes complete to install in one afternoon. Yes, it comes with a charge pipe coming from the turbo to tb. Note- take $200 off price if you do not need a charge pipe (for you fmic guys)."


Maybe I am misunderstanding this though?

I understand what it says, however id be very suprised if that is what it means.

That intercooler is listed at over $400 eslewhere on their website, so i do not know, im just saying i wouldnt hold my breathe if i was you, that it only costs 150 for a intercooler that size

i talked to them and i was right end of story!

iTrader: (14)

really,
then why do they list it for 450 other places on the site?

my assumption is because the FMIC deletes other parts therefore reducing the price.

ddnspider

iTrader: (26)

because its a trade off.say you wanted the charge pipe....200 say you wanted a FMIC 150=350 for both.now you are buying a kit so its just good business to give the customers a deal if they're already buying a kit from you.besides we have no idea what kind of deal they're getting on these FMIC's either.it also could be a different fmic

well said simple answer

69firebird

iTrader: (14)

right so all your saying is what I said, if you buy the kit, you do not subtract the 200 for no charge pipe, you simply add 150

youve repeated what I was saying

simply put you are paying more that 150 for that intercooler no matter how you look at it
