No you cant use the SMIC as a FMIC and as far as piping an exxhaust shop can do it.

maybe if you feel like doing a bunch of custom work but I would say it would probably be easier to get a front mount. As for piping ebay, junkyard, craiglist, anything along those lines. Remember pipe is pipe for the most part. Just do it right the first time please.

i got my piping (great stuff too) off of ebay for about 100 bucks shipped. you just have to search around and make sure its the right piping before you buy. and check feed back too.

oh, and if you have thoughts for a FMIC (they look way better) then don't waist your money now on a SMIC and wait til you can afford a FMIC. just my thoughts for ya.

Ok there is no point to using an SMIC as a FMIC. I mean literally, no point. An SMIC will get all the airflow it needs in the SMIC position. It would just look like you are a rtard if you mounted it in front.
