  Like I saw it talked about earlier, we did a test fit away from the car to see how radical the changes were and to get familiar with how all of this would bolt up. So, since i needed a few extra hands, I had both Christian and Gary appear with some beer to aid me out:
  
  Just about all kidding aside, this is that this kit will basically bolt up. If you had a few brains, unlike us that day, it would be a smart idea to take some masking tape and just number the sections. As soon as you get under the car, some of the pipes can usually get a big confusing, so pre-labeling them will save you some frustration. I would also advise you to go ahead and slip on your t-bolt clamps here and check the orientation of where they will be and will you be able to get your ratchet in there. Taking that extra 10 mins now and this process, will save you a couple of hours of screaming profanities and having to remove pipes because you put the damn clamps with backwards.
  
  This next photo illustrates underneath V connection working its way around the small heater hose following the radiator. I know to the V1. 0 kit this was just a straight chance, so obviously more detail went into to precisely how these pipe run. You may note that this conduit hugs the radiator and gives plenty of clearance for the belly pan.
  
  In the next set of pictures, you will realize how well Billy designed the flow in the hot pipe leading at night notorious left bumper support. This area had punched a few holes in alot of pipes, mine included. I ran around to get a year with aluminum putty complete mind, constantly replacing that, since I was to lazy to just obtain it welded with a larger plate. I am happy to report this isn't even a stress zone any more!
  
  Theres plenty of clearance judging by the pictures if you are still stubborn enough to do a CAI. Its smart to ditch the system and go SRI, but some people still want to retain these nostalgic pieces for reasons uknown.
  
  Conclusion:
  
  If I saw it to nitpick to identify a flaw in this kit it would that the core's inlet/outlet lacks a lips to maintain the silicone hose tightly. That is really, the only flaw I can now find in such a kit. People have asked about having methanol nozzle taps installed on the pipe, but honestly its no necessary. Devil's Own sells a adapter than assumes the silicone slipjoints, where you could install a nozzle. You wont have to worry about any stripped threads and also its particular cheaper to replace a $3 piece of silicone then having this pipe re-welded.
  
  It's nice to have a kit that I don't have to worry about checking all the time for new puncture rips and annoying rubbing troubles. If this is how Cobb Tuning plans to start off their new hardparts method, then they are on the mark this time around! The cobb BPV really compliments this kit together with shortly, you will see overview of that pieced added here.
  
  Again, we thanks a lot for supporting MSF and I hope you find this review for the updated Cobb FMIC V2. 0 worthy the read.
