Large SMIC or FMIC?

I have a small SMIC that is a Knight Sport. Will a large SMIC like the M2 work with a T-78 setup or do I have to go FMIC. I like the looks of the SMIC, it fills out the engine bay. I dont want to start a debate, just want to know if the large SMIC will work
Thanks

You can run a SMIC with a single. I've got a Medium IC with my RX6 setup in the first picture on this page:

I used some 90mm Santoprene hose from McMaster-Carr (http://www.mcmaster.com/) to move the intake so it gets colder air and clears the IC. You'll probably need a different size, but that is good, cheap stuff to use.

Max, how about that huge intake filter that comes with the Greddy kit, will that fit with a large stock mount?

I have no idea. Keep in mind that I did have to relocate the A'PEXi filter on my car -- it won't fit if you attach it directly to the turbo.
