I was looking into doing an intercooler mod when I heard about these two I am just wondering which is better... FMIC or DMIC. I no they are doing DMIC out in the UK standard and it is supposed to be way easier to install than FMIC, but I heard FMIC is better. So, any advice on the pros and cons on either is much obliged. Thanks.

if you can get alot better flowing smic then go that way if you are going to stay stock.... to semi stock... no heat soak blah blah blah
but if you are going to want to upgrade and want a more menacing look fmic

if you are not going above k04, i would get the apikol SMIC upgrade seen here, i would stay away from the DSMIC since several people have had the plastic end tanks on them blow under higher PSIs but then again plenty of people run them...
http://www.audizine.com/forum/showthread.php?t=189132&highlight=apikol+SMIC FMIC will look better (in my humble opinion) and keep your IATs more inline with ambient temps... ractec and ER sport are good options 380 and 351 cu in respectively...

Dual smics is far less efficient than a fmic. It has to through 2 inlets and outlets than just one long one. THis will slow down the air velocity. Not to mention you can fit a fmic to fit any power level where a smic(s) is limited due to more space constrants.
