Whats the dif in intercooler design.

Any help would be great.

What mods and car do you have? This way we can advise on what you got and what your goal is.

At that level i would say the hybrid FMIC would be best suited, very reasonably priced and very effective

Yes the Hybrid is very good quality.

These two statements contradict each other.

If we fit the intercooler for you or you take note of the instructions the pipe under the chassis bed will not be the lowest part on your car and you can refit your plastic undertray if you wish.
If you have any problems with this advice please get in touch direct per profile.
This business about the pipe under the engine bed has presumably been started by people that have misinterpreted the instructions.
I can dig out photographs here that I can post if you wish but this is another one of these Scoobynet myths.

Hi harvey

Thanks for the info.
The pipe under the car is one that i have seen on another newage with a front mount and the intercooler pipe is the lowest part on the car.
Poss its not fitted correctly on his car then.
That was what was putting me of the pipe going under the car but if yours allow the undertray to be refitted then this will be fine(does the pipe not fowl the undertray at all then?).

Thanks Ado

The pipe will touch the undertray but if the job is done properly the undertray goes back on without any difficulty. People that have the pipe stuck down under the car have not fitted the kit properly and probably not listened to the advice they were given
