FMIC Inlet/Outlet sizes
Hi all,
Noob question here but are the inlet and outlet holes on the FMIC supposed to be different sizes? Just bought an aftermarket FMIC and same brand Chargepipe (won't name brand just yet but it's well known). The chargepipe will not fit on the other hotside hole of the FMIC since. Is this correct? I don't have calipers to verify. Just want to make sure my FMIC isn't defective if both inlet/outlet are supposed to be exactly the same. Thank you. |

I thought they were same size so just to verify since I'm paranoid I tried to fit the cold side chargepipe on the driver side (hot side) hole on the FMIC and it does not fit. So I guess i have a defective FMIC? |

thanks, i've watched that video but if it appears my FMIC is defective I don't want to start taking apart my car just yet. I guess I'll wait to hear from the company first for confirmation

Took it out of the box to try it out again and got the cold side chargepipe to fit on the hot side of the FMIC. It is very very snug compared to the cold side of the FMIC but it works. Thank you Orange fever for confirming that they're supposed to be the same size
