Stealth it or not stealth it? Itll be mounted into a standard grey Mk2 bumper, Im just not sure wether to stealth it or not TBH.

Not stealth, well don't hide it behind a bumper... as that would be pointless lol

Stealth it as in you want it to be invisible to radar? lol

Have you not considered a CC?

Meh, tmic would be easier than a CC, and far more stealthy.... bonnet vent will just make people think you're a chav with a 1.2 lol

Just go FMIC and have the mofo hanging off the front of the car.
That way it works best, and you look cool.

Personal preference really, i've hidden my FMIC this time round to increase the surprise factor.

Like pair of nads!

Hang it out the front. Do a good job with the pipe work & making it sit within the lines of the bumper & it will look 1/2 stealth anyway.

Ermmm, i like the CC idea. Or a TMIC would be different, but it'll be sitting on top of a hot engine which is why i don't like it personally, my brother's is TM and he's changing to a FM for more of a difference in performance.

Jack

TMIC only really has heat soak issues when the car is standing, at which point inlet temperature isn't a problem. Assuming you have an effective bonnet scoop though. TMIC with no scoop is a bit daft IMO lol

Yeah it is, just and idea.
