Default Fogs with FMIC?

Possible???
I've notices that a lotta people don't run their fogs with the FMIC. I guess it must be a fitment issue if any.
I looked on DuhEngineering's site and all the pictures are with s4s with no fogs running.

Default screw fogs - if you have a FMIC, use the now open space to get air up to the airbox

with the SMIC out of the way, there's a path to bring cold air up to the airbox

Or up to the radiator, where it needs it.

Default you can make them fit with an fmic

I didn't really care about them so I just removed them and the brackets completely. I have an oil cooler on one side.

Default Eric has to change the bend angle in one pipe to make it fit right.

He's working with folks in Calif to get the right bend in one of the pipes in order for fogs to fit. It's the drivers side pipe from intercooler to TBB that needs a slightly sharper bend, he's got a long sweeping pipe in there right now.

Default Five things

First, it's true, I'm changing the drivers up-pipe right now to get the fog in there, which is why so little FMIC have shipped, hope you're happy.

Second, people have been removing their fogs to get 6 degrees colder IAT for 3 years.

Third, your HID has TWICE the usefull light of fogs.

Fourth, fogs don't bring back timing in 100 degree weather.

Five, people will just remove the fogs for oil coolers, intake ducts, brake ducts, better fogs, looks, etc

BTW: Pic poster was updated yesterday
