Front mount

Hello

Its my birthday next weekend an im thinking of treating myself to an FMIC - I love the look of them

Can someone tell me the benefits i would see of this?
Does this increase power?
Also is my car hard pipe or soft pipe (my mate asked me this)

Im not after a monster huge one this seems to be the smallest i can find

i had the same kit installed onto my newage & i did feel more power in terms of torque.. be sure to get a remap though or you will feel loads of turbo lag.

Its more that you can have an FMIC at any power level but once past a certain point the TMIC won't cope.
