As well as the FMIC needing custom mounts and sitting a little lower the driver side 3 inch silicon coupling that came with the FTP pipes needed to be upgraded to a 6 inch coupling due to the extra distance to the lower FMIC.

So far so good. The torque seems to come in earlier and I no longer have that flat spot around 2700 rpm or that droning exhaust noise from the high flow muffler.
Interesting. Thanks for posting! Every week I go into the weekend planning on cutting my X3's intercooler plastic undertray back so I can install the new Intercooler and something always comes up.

I've got the 3/4" square tubing that hardparker advised about. Hardparker did you have to use a longer coupling to connect the charge pipe?
