Question Greddy FMIC install question

So I stopped by the install shop to get a feal for the guy's and there work. They had a Power Enterprise TT G on the lift. The question I'm getting to is they want to totaly remove the bumper support to install the FMIC. Is it possible to to keep the bumper there and and have the FMIC? Is modifying or shaving it back possible or maybe cantering in like \ to fit?

The big deal here is in Hawaii you must maintain your bumper support to pass a safety check; so I'm looking at all possibilities.

Sonic is doing it. Just eyeballing the FMIC it looks like it will fit no problem.

you will have to remove your front bumper brace with the greddy kit. there was someone on this forum that modified the brace to work with the kit.

My shop put in a IC and it was 12+31+4 If the Greddy is the same size . You can notch the bumper brace on both sides to get it to fit

If you use the Greddy FMIC, the bumper brace needs to be remove, unless your shop can fabricate a new bumper brace, and notch the passenger side brace mount. Doable, but its going to take a lot of custom work.

Spearco can make you ANY size core you want with whatever end tanks you want. Just tell them the LXHXWXD of the core and how you need the end tanks configured and they will make it for you.

If you convert the passenger side tank setup on the Greddy FMIC to a single lower inlet, you will have no clearance issues, and can retain your stock strut brace.
