Greddy v-mount? Anyone?
So it's been a long time since a thread has come up on this and the last time it seemed like no one had any info what-so-ever about it. Just a bunch of opinionated comments a speculation - no real info.
So purely out of curiosity, now that some time has gone by, has anyone installed, used or even SEEN this kit?
The only thing I could find other than the brief info on their website was this one pic from the re-extreme blog:
So I'm curious.. Does anyone actually have any info on this kit?

Also interested in hearing about fitment and impressions. That's the best picture I've seen so far.
This particular v-mount set up seems like the best off the shelf kit for the simplicity and directness of the plumbing alone. I've looked at photos of the RE-A, Knightsports, and Panspeed kits and they all loop the plumbing around the engine bay in a way that seems unnecessarily complex. While other v-mount kits cross intercooler piping over top the core, Greddy keeps that area free of obstruction. Which seems like a no-brainer if incorporating a vented hood to maximize cooling.

Yeah that's what I meant cause the fmic was really never good. I heard someone say it has the same heat exchanging capacity as an oven mitt lol. But it sounds and looks considerably better which is good. Fmic is old technology. Probably good for its time but dated now

Heh. Probably not. But in case others are interested, I'd commit.
Rotary Extreme said the following about the Greddy V-Mount core:
"Greddy uses tube and fin, still a good set-up but ment more for front mount or direct airflow going through it. I have seen greddys tube and fin in person and the internal of the tubes are nicely packed with cooling fins. the greddy core is a good core."
