Default FMIC...which one?
Okay, thinking in my plans is for a fmic but there seems to be many variants of size and expecially price!
autobahn 88 do a cheap one
Hyperflow an expensive one
APS do expensive and two different sizes?
AMS do another, forge do another etc etc

what do I go for? 420 horses is m y ultimate aim (at the moment)

I have an autobahn fitted, easy to fit, ask CJ he fits them in a day no problem.
They are not expensive and i think a not bad quality at all.
The more you pay the better the quality of the materials used and of course the weld.

Do you really need a FMIC for that power, 450 to 500 appears achievable on the std STI TMIC?

They say that the STi TMIC should max out at around 400, but some for some reason do go to 450+.

Look at Dyney for example, he is still on the WRX top mount and getting 400+.

I've got an Autpbahn front mount. They are pretty good, but had to have this done a few months ago



17 inch crack had to be alloy welded
