Unhappy Apexi Intake and Intercooler HELP!

so... i have the apexi dual intake and just bought an fmic intercooler kit. the intercooler sat well and just fine... but as you all probably know i needed to relocate a few things... now my intake wouldn't fit back in...

i am wondering is there anyone who have had this issues before and created some sort of solutions? any advice or threads would be appreciated!!! thanks

i plan to fabricate my own pipping? but never done it before...

You'll have an easier time just selling the intakes and either creating a custom intake with K&N filters, or buying an intake kit like the Greddy or HKS RS which are designed to work with FMIC's.

yeah.. that's true... but i do like the apexi intake more than the hks and greddy... if i can't fabricate my own brackets and pipes i guess i'll have to do that

but has anyone fix this kinda problem before?

It depends on the FMIC. Which one are you using? People have gotten it to work with the Greddy FMIC piping in the past (with some effort).

The intake in the picture uses the oem piping, and its really really kinked in that setup. Better if you just get a 90 degree hard pipe for the primary and a short hard pipe for the secondary.
