if it's the newer fmic (w/openings pointing down and not at 90 degrees) then it fits right in front of the a/c condensor. keep the boots for each end. you can use stock pipes (newer style) and some from 9000 to make the runs. once in, you'll see there is plenty of room, even enough for an additional fan (for those who care), and that's without loosing the a/c. you can also use the stock rad fans, with manual or pressure switch override, to cool the fmic. not rocket science, doesn't take a lot of r&d to get it in. and it's cheap. i thought i would piecemeal my piping together first and then get some custom stuff done. but after running with it as is and a successful run on the dyno, i'm planning on leaving it for now.

some of the alterations needed were trimming the lower portion of the bumper, for the end tank protrusions; cutting the ends of two bolts off the bumper so hey don't hit the end tanks, minor shaves here and there to prevent piping from rubbing. (keep this in mind when you run the piping, do not let it lay on anything as it will eventually rub through)

you can use the link below to see some of the photos from mine. the end result is a piping run that looks stock. (i hope this guy doesn't mind i keep linking to his page, but we did send him my photos, :).)

hope this helps, good luck.
