Hey guys, I've been looking around at FMIC's and found Corksport's PowerSeries. It seems like a good product for the price, although I don't think I could handle looking at the tacky logo on the front. Any ideas for a great core replacement or even a different intercooler kit altogether? Thanks!
FMIC Core

They only paint the logo on one side. Just flip it around. The Kinetic/Ion kit is still available. There is a NOS Pann Auto FMIC on Ebay right now for under $600. https://www.ebay.com (commissions earned)

Ah, okay. I wasn't aware the iON version was still available. I also wasn't aware you could just flip the intercooler core, lol. I was always under the impression that one side was designated to face forward. Thanks for help!
Yeah, I Just thought the iON was out of production. Is the Kinetic similar to the iON? Also, I've been looking at some CXRacing FMIC, are they any good?
Do you think if I bought a CXRacing pipe kit with a Kinetic core, it would work just as well as the whole Kinetic kit?

What about liquid to air? I'm putting one together right now from frozenboost. Once I get it all worked out, I was planning on putting a detailed parts list together so other people could do it easily. If you're looking to do something now, you could do it, and then I could just follow in your footsteps, LOL!!!

Im using the CS kit. Don't get it for looks, get it for performance. Hell, my has the older CS logo on it and I think the new CS logo looks ten times better but I didn't buy it for the logo. Like what was stated earlier, just flip the core around.
Are you happy with your corksport fmic? And was there any cutting required?

am I happy? hellz yeah and yes minor cutting was required for the IC pipes to be routed they way they are. They provide templates for cutting with the kit when ordered.
Killer man. I already have the CS PowerSeries exhaust installed, so might as well add on to it with their FMIC and eventually their downpipe.

if you stock have the stock radiator fans, you will have to get a slim fan for the passenger side as the hot pipe will not clear with the stock fan there, it sticks out too much. I have their exhaust and cams. Im trying to pay for the pep downpipe before they run out. If not, then I'll be hitting up CS for their downpipe too.
Was there a notable increase in performance with the cams?

Spiced MSP, I'm glad you like the FMIC kit
thanks for the awesome products
bwlknsn91 as many have stated, you can just flip the core around and you won't have to worry about anything. The cams will give you more top end over the USDM cams.

Thank you sir! I love the Corksport Exhaust and figured, why not add on to it?! I also plan to upgrade the downpipe. Do you happen to have for sale an SRI for the MSP?
