Question Best intake for front mount intercoolers?

Same as the title. What's the best fitting intake to go with the Greddy 2 row FMIC? I dont see how the hard pipes are going to fit either. I have a friend who said he could custom fabricate a couple of pipes for me, but I was gonna check here first. I know I can buy some smaller filters. It's just the pipes that have me puzzled.

foam filters .... barf (personal prefrence) work great when they are clean after that worthless.

apexi intakes can be slightly modded to work with greddy fmic and they use gouze filters that supply more air flow under dirty conditions which is 99% of the time since you DO drive a car!

and yes they (apexi intake systems) work with stock twins and the fmic!

If i had to do it over...i'd go with the newer style greddy filter. By far the easiest, cleanest, and best looking installed

you have obviously never seen a foam filter dirty- YUK!!!!!!

yes the apexi install is a little "bitchy" but IT IS worth the overall pro's for using them.

hey and to be honest the damned greddy intercooler install is really "bitchy" so whats a little more work ? lol
