Looking for a cheaper quote for one before I drop the $2,000 at ASW.

Default Find a quality core on eBay. Buy it, and then go to a GOOD shop...

some sort of performance place and have them make you custom piping, and endcaps. It'll end up being cheaper.

$0.02

Default TIME IS MONEY

Are you ready to leave your car at this shop for a week while they use it as a mule to fit all the pieces together? How good are these guys at welding aluminum cores next to thick aluminum end tanks? How are you going to attach the FMIC to the car? Lots of questions that might be answered by another source but how much are you willing to gamble. The ASW or the Dave Stone FMICs are both plug and play from Colorado. I kinow and trust both these sources.

Default Eh.

A friend of mine left his car at his mechanic for two days. He bought a FMIC, and mounted it in the place he wanted... they created all the piping for him, and did a very good job at a reasonable price.

Default i have acess to a top notch fab shop $$$ even he said 2000 dollars is rediculously expensive, but...

HE was almost upset that someone is charging that much. Since it takes an hour or less for a capable welder to do end tanks on a core you can score for 600 bucks now.

Id buy the one elijah has over any of the other ones because it actually fits the car and is stealthy as hell

I agree, if it came down to it, I'd get one from the place that Elijah did.
