Why that kit? JBR pipes and Treadstone TR8 core can be had for <$700 and will perform just as well if not better, will definitely fit better, and like mentioned is much cheaper. Just wondering why you chose to go with that kit.

I just like how its different from other fmic kits. but if it doesn't perform or fit good i wouldn't get it.

Gotcha. I was just curious, wasn't bashing or anything. But, IMO, it would just be a waste of money if all you wanted was something different. If different is your cup of tea then I would wait for some under the engine routed intercooler pipes (a couple companies have them in development currently) and still with a TR8 core. But, if you like saving money and want the probably the best performing kit for our cars then JBR pipes and TR8 is definitely where it's at.

FullRace FMIC is insanely expensive...
IMO, If you are still on the stock KO4 then I'd go for an upgraded TMIC.

For my car which is a daily driver...Yeah, in traffic it gets heat soaked but you're not going anywhere fast anyways. Once you get moving it cools down faster than you think.
