Default 03 Turbo S FMIC install

Hi!

Im currently just waiting for the rest of the things I need, before I install the BT setup I got.
Now, as per IC, im thinking about a same side FMIC, or a opposite side IC. Ive seen pics about the same side IC, by same side I mean, inlet and outlet are in the same side, that its alot easier to install, than an opposite side one. Now, how bad can i get when it comes to throwing the pipes beside the battery, down to the front? how much trimming is required? Else, ima just go with a same side. Now,how about the size would these fit:

1- Overall size 22.5 x12"x 3"
2-Overall Size: 29 x8 "x3.5"

Those both are same sides. If those wont fit, what measures can i be looking for?
Thanks!

I just installed a 28x9x2.75 in mine. IT wouldnt have fit between the rebar support and the A/C consenser if my Radiator mounts wern't messed up from hitting curbs. I'd reccomend a big thin core, like 2.5 or 2.25" x 12 x 24 should be about 28" with tanks on it. If you move your battery over and cut a bit out of the body it's easy to get your discharge pipe through there. So you can get a normal IC not a same side one.



here is my pics and thread.

you could also get a smaller battery like a Deka/Braille to give you more room.
