it is worth the money if you dont want the hassle of a cheap ebay fmic for $300 to 500

that's correct but its still small but differently worth only if you dont have plans on a BT

I guess your asking about the Apikol B5 SMIC seeing that is what 034 sells, I also offer that same SMIC as a Apikol dealer.

It will do better then the stock SMIC, not the same thing you will get from a good FMIC but might better then a crappy FMIC if just running a K03.

I third that, details. I have always liked the idea of SMIC for the simple sleeper effect. Everyone and their mother has a FMIC and I feel like having one is invitation to harass me. Bad enough every honda wants to race now.
