I wonder what's the difference between this $300 FMIC compare to the more expensive FMIC?

Im still debating but I might. Theres a shop in my area that does a thermal coating that pulls heat away and spreads it out. He quoted me $150 and its a semi gloss black coating. I also had my intercooler pipes powdercoated wrinkle red and bought all black silicone couplers. Ill post pics if I have the intercooler coated.

Has anyone had any rusting issues? Particularly on the core welds?

Would anyone be interested in helping me with the install?

Yes, piping welds are starting to rust. They must not have used a low carbon grade of stainless (not surprising given the price)...

The core is aluminum, that shouldn't rust.

Thanks.

Just so everyone knows, according to SSAC the FMIC kits are backordered for ~60 days. I tried to order one today.
