I'm about to buy this smic for my FD, but I still have not seen any pic of one of these installed, and I also have some questions. DOes it come with piping or air duct? Any Ąssue while installation? Will I keep my apexi intake with it? Could you pliz guys show me some pic of one installed? Thaaaanks!!

 

Here is a picture when I had the ARC SMIC installed in my car. It didn't take me 2 weeks to realize that this I/C was not a very great item. I switched over to the Greddy SMIC asap...

 

so you don't recommend me this IC? In fact it doesnt seem much bigger than the stock one. Didn't it come with piping??

 

seems like a bling replacement for the stocker.

i wouldnt put more than stock boost through it

 

did it come with the aluminum foil too?

 

That came from Rich

Was just temporary until I could find a replacement duct, I'm running the Greddy SM w/ a Pettit duct...

 

And the greddy one comes with all hardware needed but the air duct... Mmmm, it really seems bigger than the ARC one... I'll think about it

 

The Greddy one I am running now is leaps and bounds ahead of the ARC I was using... on the trip to "Rotorfest" this year, my intake temps were around 73*C-76*C, on the damn HIGHWAY! Switched to the Greddy, and even on the hottest of hot days, never go above 57*C (when I am not parked).

 

Do you think I can keep my Apexi intake with the greddy smic??

 

Yes. You can even use the stock intake box, is you so wish.

 

Is this what you want to see?

Well, not really. I'd want to see some pic of a engine bay with a greddy smic and a apexi intake
