Before you install them, check the fitment of the charge pipe to the intercooler outlet. It should slide all the way up that the slot in the chargepipe for the c-clip lines up with notch on the chargepipe outlet. Don't forgot to transfer the upper and lower o-rings from the OEM chargepipe

I got the VRSF charge pipes to coincide with the FMIC thinking they'd have to fit!? lol ,but I'll double check before we tear into it next month, for sure. How is it performing so far?

There is a large variance in machining tolerances between OEM chargepipe ID, ER chargepipe ID and intercooler outlets OD of different manufacturers... As long as you test fit it prior to installing on the car and those clip slots line up with the groove you are good.

Yes, i did. Checkthe box thoroughly. If i renember correctly mine was loose if the packing materials. If you dont have one im sure u could pick one up at parts shop for a few bucks. May be worth the hassle rather than dealing with VRSF

I looked harder than a leprechaun looking for the end of the rainbow. And that's what I might do. Thanks for getting back

Just wanted to share this with you guys, 21whp & 33wtq peak gains with over 50hp/tq gained in the mid range with our Race FMIC over the stock intercooler.

I just came back from the dyne today to get a baseline run. I was pretty pleased. Now that I have that out of the way, i can get the parts installed. Probably some time next month. I went with the 5" hd intercooler

I asked about radiator tabs previously in this thread but Tiago hasn't replied. I have RWD but I won't be able to swap inlet side of FMIC due to VRSF not making one and ER may not fit per OP. Would also like some fix for radiator tabs before install. May need to PM Tiago on this...
