Default SMIC instead of FMIC

i was thinkin, would it be possible to use a SMIC instead of a FMIC for sleeper look...i know mounting would be a lil prob but shouldnt be that hard, cuz i'll prolly get a upgraded supra side mount or a single one from a 300zx...think its a good idea?

it all depends on the turbo you are using and the amount of boost you are pushing...if you are using a small turbo on low boost, you will be fine using a side mount...but don't expect it to do much once you start pushing lots of boost through it....

You can always buy the front mount and mist it with black paint to hide it. I believe someone did it to an integra. Give me a minute and i will try and find the post.
