My New FMIC

**iamboon** · 03-05-2008 08:23 PM

Say good buy to the air-to-water setup and hello LHT Performance FMIC.

The air to water set up was plague with design flaws and it needed to be completely rebuilt.. if I was going to the track more and had a larger budget it may have been a good route to rebuild but for daily driving the FMIC set up is much more efficient.

Any Subies in the Florida area I would recommend having LHT Performance custom build a FMIC and install... for approx the same cost as a mail order unit.

Also LHT Performance is fabricating a carbon fiber shield for the cold air intake which I will post once completed...

check out link for pics...and comments from John, shop owner

"This is a intercooler and piping for a Subaru Legacy with fog lights. there's lots of bends to clear everything and fit the car perfect. Just to make sure it's 100% we did a leak test, we filled the system with water and made a quicky connector to join the trubo side to the intake side to seal it. We then pressurized it to 40psi to make sure there were no leaks.
It passed the test, but we figured while it was hooked up we would crank up the air pressure a little .
All the piping is tig welded and bead rolled to prevent blow off.

You get the very best when you choose LHT to build your intercooler piping."

LHT Performance does beautiful work. I was not expecting such high quality work and attention to detail. Even though Snowman, Im Slow and Scott Johnson recommended and all stated LHT Performance did great work I was not prepared to see my set up done so professionally. Thank you John and Paul!

it looks way better in person! the pics do not show off the clean lines and brushed aluminum craftsmanship..

also LHT Performance designed the FMIC so I can retain the fog lights

Looks like nice work, does LHT have a mandrel bender?

**-faded-** · 03-07-2008 09:15 AM

can never expect anything but perfection when it comes to LHT. reason why they have been in business so long.

**MugenR** · 03-07-2008 09:44 AM

Can't say that many of the other LGT FMIC fabricators have put in the extra effort to be able and say that.
