will def need welding work and possible misc bends...(you'll need welding work regardless for the blow off valve flange)
cost effective to get a fmic (paint black if your trying to be sneaky)

yep, cutting, bending.. welding... sometimes it takes like 3-4 welds just to get one bend .... IC piping kits are overpriced... just order some j-bends and u-bends from summit racing.. they're already mandrell bent... then have a mufffler shop cut and weld your IC piping for you

welding them together is better than using clamps and hoses? and how much do you think they would charge to weld those?

IMHO smic are worthless. Granted for the money they aren't that bad but you figure for a couple hundred you can get a decent intercooler that not only functions better but also looks better and usually involves less fab work (typically). I say ditch the SMIC and get a FMIC.
