Solomon,

The Blitz SMIC already uses the stock IC duct. The M2 in the picture you posted is mounted further back in the engine bay which is why you see more of the IC duct for it.

If you want to clean things up a bit, you could always make a cover like BoostCrzy has on his car:

I would say for now you should just stick with the Blitz SMIC. It's better than stock and you don't have to pay anything for it. If in the future you do want to upgrade I would suggest an FMIC that mounts behind the front brace such as the one that Blitz makes, or the A'PEXi. I like the Blitz more since its piping is nice and simple as opposed to the A'PEXi which goes all over the place.

Blitz (pic is of Zyon13B's car):


A'PEXi:


But yeah I would stay stick with the intercooler that you've already got for the time being.

I have the Blitz, but I wanted to make it look like the stock unit. I filled the recessed lettering with JB Weld. Then I ground it down and sanded it smooth. Next came a few coats of high temp black BBQ paint. I looks very much like the stock unit now. If you didn't know what to look for, you would not know it was an aftermarket unit.
