FMS FMIC for 08+ wrx/sti

I know this kit will fit on a 08-09 Legacy GT/Spec B...But will it fit on the 05-07 LGT? I know they (subaru) made minor changes halfway through the model. Just need to know 100% if it will fit.

nobody can chime in with any info? really? not a single person can tell me a difference in chassis setup?

Why waste your money on a knock-off?

 

If you want to save money, go with the RacerX.

I think the racer x is a pile of crap.

Only nice thing I have to say about it is that you can keep the stock air box.

I got the fast motorsports. Next to no fitments problems and the kit is holding up amazing at 434whp at 24psi.

 

But back to the original op question.

The 08wrx/sti kit will fit on the 05-07 lgt. I have it on my car

 

08-09 had a harder time fitting cuz the air pump on the right front of the motor.

Damn, i think u didn't like the way the piping went. I got a awesome deal for my RacerX, I wanted to keep THE BUMPER BEAM so if if someone hits me in the front I'm safe. If the intercooler gets damage, better call a buddy because your car isnt moving. Also insurance wont shoot me down. But hey as long as your happy. Your car looks good tho.

i just think the racer x kit is ugly. i hate how the couplers show through the front bumper. its just tacky.

 

yeah its nice to keep the bumper beam, is only supposed to not create as much damage in crashes from 0-5mph.

 

in a true head on accident. front bumper beam really isnt going to do much more. you are in a head on collision the car is totalled reguardless.

im not saying its not a bad idea to keep it. it is better to keep but its really not gonna make that much difference in a head on collision.

 

 

just my .02 everyone has their own opinion tho.

i like the way the FMS kit looks too, more than any other FM on the market, but the mere fact that FMS as a whole is dog shit turned me away from the kit. do you have any of their other parts?

i just bought their fmic kit. ive heard alot of bad things about their other products so i cant really say too much about them as a company. all i can say is im very pleased with my fmic kit.

 

i only paid 640$ shipped with black piping so i couldnt pass it up.

The FMS FMIC does fit a 05-07 LGT. I own the kit myself and I think its a really good piece. I made a thread about it somewhere on the fourm. I haven't had any problems with it.

It doesn't look NEARLY as nice as the kit they knocked off. The FMS looks like dog shit in comparison.

did they model theirs off of Perrin?

TurboXS, actually.

now the txs kit is very nice, youre right. eventually ill end up with one of those or perrin's.

I'm going with the TXS one soon. I'm not really a fan of the Perrin.

i dont like the crash beam that comes in the perrin kit, it literally looks like it'd be flexible

 

let me know where you find the best price on the txs

Another thing to consider when buying knock offs, is the quality of the cooling cores. Just because it fits well and looks nice doesn't mean the cooling is up to par. This has occurred with some of the the IPR tmic's vs. the perrin tmic's.

Haven't looked at the TurboXS one, but this kit gets the job done, and saved me money. Satisfied.

i have to agree. but for another 400$+ ill deal with the "fitment" issues that the fms fmic has.

 

and it shows it has to be a decent kit if im pushing well over 400whp and its holding up great..

ive seen the turbo xs one. but just like u said. it gets the job done. hold up to the power im throwing at it and saved me money.

Thanks for all the bullshit input expect for the two people that actually answered my question. I have this kit on my 08 LGT currently and I got a really good increase in power with it. It has held up very well in the new england weather and I have had zero issues with it. Im parting my car out currently and I just wanted to double check it would fit on previous years. And if you ask me I happen to think the RacerX kit is junk. I know of 2 people that have purchased that kit and have had to weld up the piping where they missed from the "factory". To each his own I suppose. But the RacerX kit is just a knock off of someone elses design.

 

Thank you to those who actually gave me positive input on my actual question.

What do you think that FMS kit is? It's a knock off of someone elses design.

 

Your saving money, took money away from a manufacturer that actually designs its own parts. Keep that shit up, and there won't be anything for the knock-off companies to knock-off.

Who did the racerx knock off?

I am fairly certain that the Racerx kit was designed on his own car and later revised between the makers and Mike @ infamous. Not really knocking anyones designs off.

I paid only $250 more shipped for the TXS and I think it was well worth the extra cost. A proven name and quality product. I have a Racerx that I fitted and pulled right out. A bit of trimming of the bumper for the TXS, but everything else fit very easily.
