Default What induction kit with a FMIC?
I'm going to be fitting a Hybrid GT Spec FMIC to my car soon but from looking at pictures i cant keep my airbox. So i'm guessing i need to get a decent induction kit. What do people recommend? Anything that i should avoid?

RCMS are about the best ones to get imo, they are not cheap but you really do get what you pay for.

Nice big K&N cone and make up your own into the wing or through to the bumper vents.

Any dry filter induction kit, steer clear of the ones that use oil in the filter

The APEXi Power Intake is a dry filter where as the K&N's are oil filters (its the oil that retains the dirt), the oil from the K&N can be sucked through from the filter and play havoc with your MAF and potentially ruin it costing you more money in the long run.

That one looks a good one keeps it out of the engine bay, but in the picture it looks like the engine is a V3? Would this fit my V2?

really please with the Hybrid FM, great value and great noise when coupled with a blocked off, ported td05

I would stay well clear of the HKS filters, they are horrible and sticky.

Stick with K&N or RCM if you can find one and you can't go wrong...
