Message	Also, most FMICs are two chambers one on top of the other. It's hard to fabricate a bumper that allows even airflow to both chambers, hence one side of the engine usually sees higher intake temperatures. If I had to get a FMIC I'd get the HKS, as it uses side by side chambers; but it still blocks the radiator.
