Message FMICs are problematic.

Poor cooling air to radiator
Intakes behind FMIC draw in hot air
Intakes on the sides require dual MAS setup (+ AFC)
Most FMICs have insufficient room for sidemount located filters
Most FMICs are cross-flowing, which eliminates the natural cross-over in the plenum, which helps to maintain airflow balance between the two banks of cylinders
FMICs usually aren't just a "bolt on" affair

Far too many drawbacks IMHO... Search will reveal a lot more info.. These are just the cliffnotes.
