i wouldn't call it a beast by any means. honestly if i was going smic... i'd go w/ the Supra SMIC, it will flow a lot better and support 400hp no problem.

you usually have to get a bit creative with the piping, either hack sawing/cutting, and then sometimes welding it, other times (easier a bit, can do this just with sockets/wrenches/screwdrivers) just getting a nice get of couplers and T-bolts (better than those dinky little clamps) will do.
any reason your going SMIC over FMIC? You just get your hands on one?

pretty much; just goin on my DD civic.. no need to get all fancy and FM it, i can get a SMIC for like 25 bucks.. i'm just worried about the piping, and how hard it will be.

you can buy custom piping kits off ebay for like $100, i found one with t-bolts included as well. Yea $25 is cheap, btu IMO i dont think FMIC is too fancy. Its a pretty basic setup, especially becasue of the way you usally run charge piping in 5th and 6th gen Civics.

it also depends on what kind of turbo you are going to e running. if you are planning on running a 16g or larger, i'd suggest going with a smaller fmic rather than a dsm smic. the smic will start heat soaking BADDD anything over 250whp.
