you want the one with the longer pipe and also the one i had had a o big box section that houses the cone so no engine bay heat got to the filter.. if i was you i would just get a japspeed kit for around £50 off ebay looks good and cone fits inside the inner wheel arch so nice cool airflow
like mine ignore perrin sticker ... it was a £35 ebay second hand japspeed

japspeed cold air induction kit will not fit with japspeed front mount intercooler as the pipes for the front mount go through the same hole as the induction kit does.

The k&n in the link should fit, if it doesn't all you need is a silicone joiner to move it a bit.

Thanks guys but i just want someone who has a Japspeed FMIC to confirm that the K&N filter i have linked will fit.
No offence but please don't advise me unless you know what fits from experience.

Thanks

No offence mate but you said fmic in the title which can be easily missed. Some pictures would help.

People have said you can't do it because you have a front mount. You can if you have a look in the area by the wing there are quite a few different holes. It all depends on how you have set it up because you can have both.

Firstly a photo would be useless as i haven't fitted the fmic yet.
Also whats the point of a photo when my question was if anyone has a japspeed fmic, will this filter fit?

I don't want to seem rude and i appreciate peoples help and advice but I would still like correct advice.
Perhaps i should start another thread asking what induction kit everyone with a japspeed fmic runs?
(and i'll make sure i put it in the post as well as the title )

Mate its all facts you didin't tell us lol Thats why I kept assuming and asking you questions.

When your using the mobile site it doesn't come up as clearly thats why its hard to tell when all the information isn't there.

The reason for the photo was to see how you have set up your fmic and then advise if its worthwile going for an inner wing induction kit.

People with fmic can give advice as well as the set up of it should be the same. So don't limit the amount of information you could use. No need to start a new topic

The FMIC piping didn't go through my inner wing as far back as I can remember.

I have a japspeed fmic fitted mate. I tried fitting a hybrid cold air induction kit with it but it didn't fit. Out of the two holes in the wing, the fmic piping will go through the hole closer to the cabin. So you would need a CAI kit that fits through the front hole and even then it is not a guarantee that it will fit. You could get a kit to fit, but you would need to mess with silicone joiners to change the routing of the pipework. To save a lot of hassle, just fit the k&n in the link and be done with it.
