Like do you have to rip the front end off or what?

Which brand/type is it? I have had 3 FMIC's on my personal car (for parts development reasons) and have helped a couple others with theirs.
The bumper cover must be removed and trimmed to fit around the core. The bumper beam is removed and replaced by a mounting bracket or a smaller bumper beam. Sometimes an adaptor is needed to get your BOV/BPV to work. T-bolt clamps are recommended for all couplings. The fuel lines sometimes have to be mod'd.
A shortram is not absolutely necessary with an FMIC. I have done cold-air intakes for APS, Perrin, WBR, SSAC, TXS, CXRacing, and some custom ones too.
