Which ic is best if I dont want to hack up my car
I wanna run stage 2 aggressive +
I currently have Cobb. Catless dps. Drop in kn. so I guess I need a fmic to be able to run the 2+. The last thing I want to do is hack up my car even a little. Any suggestions? Additionally Do I have that right in terms of what's needed for 2+? I refuse to get a catback. I dont want noise. Ty |

Wagner. Cheaper than cobb or helix but basically same design.

Not sure what you mean by hack your car but ER,VRSF, AA and ETS all have great FMIC.
AA have lowered their prices last month and ER are giving a free CP with the purchase of their FMIC

I just installed a Wagner and the whole install tool about an hour. Amazingly easy and perfect fit. Factory connections fit just like the OEM intercooler.

Sounds to me like he doesn't want to cut the factory connectors or trim to fit an intercooler. That leaves only a few choices: Mishimoto, Forge and Wagner (and eBay knock offs). And I don't want to start a pissing match so lets just say just because something is popular, not cheap or has name recognition doesn't mean it has the best of craftsmanship or function so do due diligence when selecting and make sure your getting the quality your paying for.

Requires some trimming if you dont want trimming i would go with the new VRSF 5" stepped core requires no trimming.

The 7" requires about 1.5" of the black plastic shroud behind the bumper removed. Personally I'd do that before going with a 5" alternative since it's light trimming but some people don't feel comfortable cutting a bit of plastic.
