Message	You'll need to ovalize the mounting brackets though, to get the IC to sit slightly more inboard. Otherwise they create small dimples in the fascia. Not difficult, I'll probably do mine this winter. Plus they reuse the stock ducts. Here's some good, unbiased comparative info Also, unless you like lag, look at getting some Mike Smith manifolds with those 600's, or reevaluate your turbo selection. "...Downpipes own.
