Question FMIC Wanted.......Info Needed... Could it be YOU???

I am going to buy a FMIC for my classic

so far Harvey Smith with his Hybird is in the lead to supply me one

anyone offer anything else??

I do like the way the pipes go on the older style APS intercooler, if anyone has one of them for sale?

Yep, can't really beat a Hybrid GT for the money, and Harvey is the best guy to get one from.

If you want something a bit spendy, a premium product, then the Hyperflow one is very good. Some people can justify the extra cost because is appeals to their specific needs or preferences.

The APS ones typically look a bit poor with the silicone pipes, as they get stained very easily, hence they moved to polished stainless or red wrinkle finish metal pipes.

Hybrid is best of the far east generic FMIC kits, excellent VFM.

I just bought one of the cheap ones, alloy pipework, cooler itself looks fine.. they do require one pipe cutting and re-joining usually.. but £170 brand new!

I have seen some with naff looking chromed pipes which I didn't want.

I realise it's not the best out there but I'm not complaining at what I paid.. I certainly wouldn't want to make one for £170!

They are tube and fin.

Best you are going to get the right side of £500.
