Greddy FMIC, ? to do with the Oil Cooler?

I have searched, through many a many a posts on the FMIC. I donot recal seeing one about the oil cooler. I talked to the guys at Greddy, asking, " I understand you have to cut the bumper support bar, but hwta about the oil cooler.?" He said," the oil cooler does not hang from the support bar"..... I said, " Oh, nevermind then"... But, he was wrong.

My question, what do you do with the Oil Cooler? Where did you mount it, or do you not have to cut away at the entire support bar?

With the stock set up, will the GReddy pipes connect to my Compression Coupler? Or, do I need a aftermarket one, and where can I get it?

Thank you,
Chris

The oil cooler remains in the stock location, attached to the crossbar that is just in front of the rad.

It is not affected by the Greddy FMIC kit, which mounts much further up front.

Dude from GReddy was right!

Yes the couplers provided will fit. After a week or 2 of driving they wont look bright blue anymore but kinda gray haha.

If you are interested in keeping the front bumper reinforcement do a search and you'll find my write up and how to make it fit. Not difficult at all but requires some cutting of the reinforcement mounts and also the actual support itself. Still it's better than no reinforcement at all IMO on a street car.
