es - did you keep the stock g front bumper or get something else?
I HAVE THE stock bumper coverer for now, but am looking for something a lil more revealing/I/C friendly......

i like the TS version, but dont much need/care for the side ports it has......

the I/C could really benefit more from an opening around it (cersus the oem setup)

maybe i could get the twin FMIC's instead? (and sell the one i have)?

yeah, maybe if vortech is listening - make a fmic configuration for the stock g35 bumper. I would buy that. It is the only thing keeping me from going vortech.

Our system is made for the stock car. What do you mean?

THats very true.....

while the i/c is partially blocked by the bumper shape,m it STILL works very effectively at colling the intake air temps.....

i guess it'd 'look' better fully opened up, but not sure how much (if any) change in temp there would be

like the ic's on the jwt turbo kit. I am no engineer but i assume that the g's bumper does not allow the center mount ic to provide the same level of effectiveness as is afforded to the z which has a big hole in the front to scoop up air.

Got it, I thought you were saying it didn't fit.

A twin front mount would require additional plumbing and causes more pressure loss. If too much pressure is lost, then the intercooler is either useless or decrease performance. It is possible to do so but you will need to undersize the intercoolers so you will not experience so much pressure loss.
