Sorry I cant answer your question about fitment, but I will vouch for the quality. Mine came in yesterday, and it's a beautiful piece.

2.5" is the most common. I don't think it creates any more lag than a 2" system. Some people might tell you it does, but I don't buy it.....

%gen Civics have shitloads of room for intercoolers. You will have to trim the bumper a bit for any intercooler(usually).

A general rule of thumb is you can't have an intercooler that is too big. Don't be a smartass and say "What if I'm running 4psi and I have a 36"x14"x8" intercooler". :P

Both fmics are good but I'd personally go with the CCA. My 6in fit perfectly except for trimming the bumper a bit and any bigger you would have to start hacking. I personally try to stay away from the sawzall as much as possible. :P

in fact, its not even my bumper, its the bumper that the spanish kid that stole my car, as well as my b16 and thousands of $$$'s of other accesories, put on my car so he could roll it back onto the street ( not being racial, but i talked to the kid that stole my car on the phone,.,.... now thats a whole other intresting storry)

so yeah, i guess ill go ahead and order up a jrc 8" relatively soon....

so for intercooling piping then, the lot of you would recoment me going all 2.5?????

Both intercoolers are good. I've never had a JRC, but I have had a CCA. When things are too close to call you go with the guy that's actually posted on HMT in the last 2 years.

Always go with who you know. ;)

You can use a transitional coupler but those things are expensive. My silicon transitonal coupler cost something like 25 bux but home depot has something simliar and cheaper.
