Where to have Big Tom IC installed

I dont want to mess anything up, and would rather have someone else install it for me. Can anyone recommend and shop who will do it for a reasonable price?

FYI Big tom IC takes a lot of modification to fit properly.

No different then the $1000+ AA Race FMIC.

Think before you speak when you say stuff like "something Is Crap".

Its a BIG FMIC, and does take a lot to make it fit. But the outcome is very positive.

we don't get involved in that install just because its too much fabrication and worries about the core being quality and all.

that being said, the amount you are going to pay in labor rates to a shop to have them fabricate everything plus the parts, how much are you really saving? especially because when its all said and done, you're car is cut up and will cost a considerable amount to reverse too. are the gains really THAT much better?

I agree Fabrication to make the IC fit rather then use ghetto tie wraps to hold it in place cost more at the end of the day than medium end intercooler. HPF is the high end and it's the best!
