Looks like the cx racing fmic has been cloned....

[Turbo_Steve]

Was browsing ebay and found this....

I'm sure the core is complete crap, but probably still better than the oem tmic.

I already am in the process of fabricating my own FMIC setup, but honestly if i didn't already have all my parts I would have bought this kit, sold the core and used the rest.

That's hilarious that someone would clone something from an ebay product. That being said speeddaddy is kind of hit or miss I know they also make an exhaust for the MS3 too. I think it is made of mild steel or something though IDK. Speeddaddy was a big hit with the L67 crowd, and their downpipe was actually a pretty solid piece for how cheap it was.

Knockoff of a knockoff, of a knockoff, of and old mazda3mods fmic. Lol.

[Cataphract_40]

Ohhh mazda3mods. You're sorely missed.

Not really though.

[Raider]

Not many remember David and m3m. I met him at at Mazdapalooza and helped test fit the etd prototype.

[silvapain]

I'd rather just stick with the OE TMIC.

Seem Legit! Lawl

The stock tmic is pretty good actually. Don't replace it with an eBay core.

No it's not, heat soaks like a bitch, and doesn't recover for shit. Atleast with a decent aftermarket tmic it'll recover from heatsoak very quickly.

I was in the original group buy for the M3M FMIC (mine has welded mounting tabs on it, not the bracket), which then became the Protege Garage FMIC, which then became the CXRacing FMIC, which is now copied apparently by everyone in China...

I would just get it for the piping kit then throw a tr8 on that hoe.

[warlord]

But at the end of the day all you really have for $269 is a bunch of thin walled (most likely) bead rolled pipes. It's a given the core is shit but the silicone and the clamps are most likely shit too. If the pipes are in fact shit then it's a total $269 waste. Total crap shoot this one.

I have the tr8 core and Cobb V2 piping kit.

Good try though.

Well If is the same quality as the cx racing piping kit its well worth it. Haven't had any issues with my piping. I wrap my piping anyways so even if it is thin it's a cheaper alternative.

I knew David m3m guy personally - he's a Faggot.

[Haltech]

He wanted to sell his shit on here.. I lawl'd

[blackstar]

I came across this kit while browsing ebay. I dont see how it would fit. The fact that it doesnt come with instructions would lead people away.

Well since its a cx racing clone you can use their instructions. I do know that the wiper fluid reservoir needs deleted/relocated for this kit to work.
