    Fluid Motor Union Rocks!

    All I can say is wow... I got my intake in the mail today, the quality is the best I have seen, funny the design is so simple, and I say that out of respect. I know the conceptualize and then produce is a big undertaking, FMU nails it. The directions are simple to follow and clear! The welds are clean , and powder coating is nice. The BMC cans are huge. So bottom line, will it improve airflow?.. Jury is out, the tubing and air boxes are huge, the path of flow is simple, But I won't know till it is installed. It def is custom, unique and will look awesome on my engine. I will def buy from FMU in the future. Andrew has been a pleasure to work with.
    I promise pics tomorrow...I got home late tonight from client dinner.

    I would if I could. I am in BFE California. No Dyno around here. I plan on getting a few more parts, then do the work, tune, and dyno all at once in LA.

    I could do an after run in Fairfax where we did our testing back in Jan. At least we would have my car as a baseling before and after on the same dyno
