Hey im just wondering if any of you have fitted a fmi to a ef? I had it fitted to my ea without a problem but the ef appears to have a totally different front end. Its one of those hybrid 600mm copies.

It is possible, but not easy (Im told).

The guy who did my charger (Mark's Workshop in York WA) has fitted one to another EF, but he said it required a bit of cutting up of the front bar.

It is on my list of things to do, but I haven't had enough money to think about getting it done seriously, so haven't investigated it yet.

The hardest thing about it looks to be the piping, as my charger is on the same side as the intake, so it just seems to run for miles, and making it all fit in.

THere is loads of room behind it.. most of the stuff that gets in the way can be removed from the actual bumper.
