I am getting ready to do a 2nd Gen 3sgte swap. Need intercooler and not sure which route is the best way. I have a preface with preface fogs, I was looking at the front end today. I don't think I have enough room for piping with the fogs? For the people who have a front Mount, can u guys post some pics of the piping and specs of the intercooler please.

FMIC is the best for a "set it and forget it" kind of thing.

You can play with the piping. You don't need 3" piping until you start getting to well over 600hp, and 2.5" piping isn't necessary either. 2" piping is good for up to 400hp worth of air flow, which is when it becomes a restriction.

I have a 2" hot side(pre-intercooler) and 2.5" cold side (post-intercooler), mainly because the turbo outlet is 2".
