HELP.....Greddy FMIC install

Hey guys, what all has to be removed for the Greddy front mount. I know i have to cut the radiator support mount. Does anyone have a write up on this? Also does anything in fron of the radiator area have to be moved? I got the bumper off and somehow it doesn't look like it would fit. I know it will because it came off another TII. If anyone can offer me any advice on this i would greatly appreciate it. thanks.

Hey man that would be awesome if you could do that. Also what did you use to make the whole with.....tool wise. Eventually, though i think that i will go with that behemoth you have on your car. That and maybe a T66. But for now i think this particular unit will work for my TO4B

ya that's the one that both pipes come though the pass side of the rad so you don't have to move the battery.

when i made the holes for my front mount i used a uni-bit and and a couple of hand iron files. It was crude, but it worked. I bought some weather stripping to made a nice finish too.

Do you have anymore pics. Maybe one that isn't so close so i can get a better overall idea. I cut the radiator support thingy tonight, but i'm not sure if it was enough. I used a Sawz all, and fnished it up with a file so i didn't have any burrs. IMO clean. I will copy you and do the weather stripping, since i think it adds profesionalism to the cut. For some reason that pic looks like the drivers side.

C'mon no one else has done this. What three guys here have a front mount I/C. So all this talk about how " I run low 12's" was done on the stock I/C. I find that hard to believe.
