You have very little option but to remove the kevlar slam panel to fit an FMIC, it does little structurally but in the event of a low speed front ender it saves you from doing serious chassis damage.

Pipe routing can be an arse if you are making your own kit, also the standard bumper needs ALOT of cutting to fit an FMIC.

V mounts are much easier, but cost a lot more and my intake temps are pretty low with that amount of airflow into the car :D
