Looks pretty cool, it isn’t as distinguishable like other FMIC's with that black core. Unique. Maybe someone will sleep on it thinking its a stock 7.

Very well made Kudo's

you will drop temps like a rock with that thing and the black core is awsome.
just one question you did not get it painted or powder coated as that will screw up the cooling efforts of the I/C

I have a friend who has made it for me. The thing I like the most is that I dont have to cut in the front, any frames or anything.

The Core is black from the beginning, I am thinking about painting it bright silver though.

lawn boy: Custom is cheaper and I hope also better, well se about that.

Don't paint it! It will be alot harder for the fins to cool the air.

Yes.... do not paint it...
Is the core painted, powder coated or anodized? If anodized black.. that is fine and won't affect cooling.

Pressuredrop cause of the size?

I used an other IC last week and got a drop at 2psi. Its the black one at this pic, the in and outlet are bad and small, but it uses a HKS core.

Will even a thin layer paint affect?
