Need your opinion!

Ok so I have a list of future mods for my car including a new FMIC and Riss Racing Ceramic Coated, Catted Downpipes. My question is, would it be wise to add the FMIC before I put on the DP or does it matter since they will be ceramic coated and should therefore not heat the engine too much. Pricewise there is only about a $100 difference between the two so that doesn't make much of a difference to me...Keep in mind I have already added JB3 and DCI. Thanks in advance for your opinions and advice! Catback exhaust is #3 on the list...

It shouldn't make a difference whether you do the IC now or later but it may make sense to do it all at once to save on labor while the car is on a lift.

Intercooler first, my opinon...

You can do the FMIC yourself...

The Downpipes I hear, (And see) are a REAL bitch.

Thats what I hear, I was planning on a DIY install of the FMIC, but definitely not the DP's...thx for the input!

Well I'm planning on buying both through you...the AA FMIC and RR Coated DP's with the O2 sensors...just trying to find a reason to justify making the purchase at the same time...

Sure, we can provide that reason
Though we have to ship the parts from different parts of the country, we only charge one shipping fee as if we shipped both from the same place. On items that large, you'll save $50 at least!
