Like the title says, its a RacerX V3 FMIC for 05-08 legacy GT and 08 + wrx. The pipes are powder coated wrinkle black and the intercooler is thermal coated black. I purchased this setup from a member on here back a few months ago, put it on my legacy, and changed my mind. I had originally been planning on doing an HTA68 setup/etc but honestly I like the car as it is at just stage 2 with a full exhaust. Plus having this on a stock LGT turbo isn't really necessary. Fit great, no leaks/holes in piping but it does have some scrapes/scuffs from previous owners installs. I replaced one coupler on it as it had a wear mark on it that I didn't want to blow out, and sacrificed the worn coupler for use as padding on the IC core. Kit has all piping/couplers/t-bolt clamps, is flanged for the stock LGT BPV, and has the extra piece of piping for use with STI style turbos as well. Great kit, brand new with all the coatings would run ~800+ bucks on LGT.com if I remember correctly. I want to get the $450 back out of it that I paid, which is a great deal on this kit. I will post pics of pipes/core later tonight when I have time to take some. -Steve
I've installed one of these before, and you do. The intercooler actually sits between the bumper beam and the rad support frame structure.
Still for sale, PM replied to. I will get some pics up tonight after work as I will have time, I was busy all night last night away from the house. -Steve
Here is the only pic of it I have off my phone right now, with it mounted on the car/bumper cover off. As you can see it keeps the bumper beam. -Steve
Why worry about a bumper beam. If you hit head on. Everything in front is going to be crushed anyways. They are only good for up to 8-10mph.
Here are a couple pics: ^----Scuffs are from previous owner(s). Pipe on left has a little dent in it from a bolt head on a timing cover, when you install you can adjust the pipes so it doesn't hit. I also added some bits of leftover coupler to a few spots to keep it from rubbing. -Steve
If anyone has any questions feel free to PM me, I would like to see this sell and not have to sit on it for 6 months... -Steve
The guy who makes/designed them(Bryan) got hit head on(low spped in a parking lot if I remember correctly) in his LGT, and the bumper beam saved his car from getting seriously messed up. It also lets you keep the factory fog lights. My intercooler's piping forced me to remove the lights. I would have liked to retain them. Bump for a good kit
A lot of kits lets you retain your fogs. At least mine did. Also a lot of kits comes with a steel beam to mount your intercooler. I think that should be enough to withstand low impact.
