You don't get an FMIC for gains.....you get it to keep from LOSING horsepower due to heat.

Just ordered FMIC with black hoses. Also ordered fresh air feeds for the TTDA from Spruce.

Gotta agree with that too. They do clean off the dried-on salt.

Default Whoa, ok then I come from a much different crowd then. Where I come from, colder intake = gains.
Is heat soaking that much of a problem with the stock setup?

Default Heat soak is a pretty big issue with....
the SMICs and especially with the 180 with the single intercooler.....and I'm not saying you won't see a gain, but so many of us lose so much hp in the hot weather with the stock ICs.
