P&L Motorsports Reverse Manifold FMIC - 02-07 WRX/STI
[PL-Sub0026]



It was inevitable…

We were unhappy with existing intakes, we made our own. We were unhappy with existing exhausts, we made our own. We were unhappy with existing high end forced induction offerings, we dominated!

It was just natural that we’d start from scratch, and start testing and building our own intercooler. In discussion, we kept going back and forth on reversing the manifold or not; in the end realizing that the original end user was envisioned as a non-compromising racer.

After several iterations, prototypes, fitment checks, and countless hundreds of hours of on track testing; we’re excited to bring our latest product to you!

Our intercooler kits are wholly built in house. End tank fabrication, welding, pressure testing, piping, etc; built by hand by one of our master fabricators.

In continuation of our bar raising documentation mandate, this kit will include our full-color, bound installation manual.

We only believe in using the absolute best, so our intercooler piping comes pre-flanged for a high quality TiAL BOV. BUT, for those who have prior investments made, we can manufacture your pipe with a variety of flanges. Feel free to take a moment to call/email with your request.



Our race spec kit is designed to relocate the alternator for better weight distribution, and remove the AC for weight savings. To help facilitate this, our race spec kits include a newly designed tensioner for the alternator belt, and replacement slim line fan. While this kit is intended to run as described above, it IS possible to retain the AC, but it will take a little bit of creativity and thought during installation by the end user.

Reversing the intake manifold requires drilling and taping a new hole for the brake booster assembly. We’ve thought of that as well; including the requisite drill bit, tap, and plug which allow you to relocate the boost fitting, while being able to plug the existing hole.

As can be expected, only the highest quality silicone couplers and T-Bolt clamps are included.



Included in the P&L Motorsports Reversed Manifold Front Mount Intercooler :

• FMIC Bar and Plate Core with P&L Fabricated End Tanks

Price is... drumroll....... awesome product. is therea way to just go straight up on the passenger side after the core or is it necessary to make the wide turn?? not that you didnt think of this already.

[crystal_Imprezav]

Will it work with a rotated Magnus Intake Manifold (Many modifications were necessary for my current reverse piping to fit)?

Will you off just the piping if so how much?

Is blow-through an option (if so, how's about a MAF block off plate as a new product )?

More questions coming probably...

[GJM]

looks awsome guys. I wish you guys released this before i had my reverse manifold setup fabbed up. Looks great and from what i've seen come out of your shop, i know he quality is amazing.

Cant wait to see what else you guys come up with.

[mofoSTI]

WOW! If I hod my 04 I would order this right now. 08 fitment soon?

[VSGTS14]

that is awesome, i want to see someone get this!

well you should, you're P&L! take pictures! getting a new tune with it?

[mofoSTI]

The more I look at P&L vs other's I like their rotated turbo kits better. I like how complete and detailed they are about every thing they do. Next spring if I have the extra money I will concider the front mount and rotated for my 08 maby even with ams's new intake.

I have a aps inlet and cai will it work with this?

Hehe .. of course I am! Jorge (our in house tuner for those that don't know) will be tuning it. We will be getting a lot of pressure drop, hp increase, and other info from these tests.

I appreciate it a lot!! We try and take the brain work out of modding STIs.

It is not certain yet, but more than likely only a silicone inlet will work with our kit.. Perrin, Samco (our favorite), etc. will be acceptable

Sorry to not get back to you guys sooner on the technical stuff, I had to double check with the fabricators in the back.

This is pretty similar to what it looks like, but on the other side. Going straight through isn't an option.

We will not be offering the piping separately. If one would like a blow through set up, we would be able to weld in a housing onto the piping. Blow through would not be our first choice for tuning, however.

Oh, and....

[LittleBlueGT]

Ever thought about using a LGT intake so that the piping doesn't interfere with the stock alternator spot?

[urlosn]

Do you have a price yet for just the piping? Does that include the other brakets for relocating the alternator? I want to use this with my dr725 core since the bumper is already cut and its a very large core. What are the dimesions on the core included with this kit?

[urlosn]

Do you have any info on how much shorter the piping is then in the perrin or aps kits? How big of a difference in lag is it?
