7" ETS FMIC

silver07335i · 07-17-2013, 01:47 AM

Just received my 7" ETS FMIC kit in the mail! Waiting for a few more car parts to arrive before I get everything installed and get the car on the dyno.

Hopefully I can post a review of the FMIC soon.
Overall, the packaging was good. I did find some bent/damaged fins on one corner of the FMIC, which I'm contacting the vendor about.
What does everyone think of the quality of the welding on the end tanks of the FMIC?

That one fin on the end won't matter at all. The 7" ETS FMIC is a great setup and will really improve your car. Since you are in the Bay Area if you need any support or getting parts installed and dynoed feel free to let us know and we will provide you some assistance.

welds look great. You can straighten that fin with a small screwdriver if it bothers you.

Everything looks good to me. Do not worry about literally one bent fin, theres not much a supplier can do, and you can bend it back so easily.

Robert, I sent you a PM about the FMIC install. Thanks for the support!

Thank you everyone for your comments! I'm hoping to get this FMIC installed no later than Thursday of next week.
RimasRS, this FMIC is expensive, but after much consideration I chose to go with ETS due to their reputation, warranty, this particular FMIC's reputation/reviews, and vendor special pricing.

ETS makes very high quality pieces. I think I'll have the 7" on my car soon. I'm in for Dyno results.
