ARM FMIC Hose Upgrade

The ARM Motorsports' FMIC Hose Upgrade has been designed to work with their 5"/7" intercoolers in conjunction with their charge pipes to eliminate restrictions in the factory intake! This upgrade replaces the small hose on the hot side of the turbo outlet to the intercooler, and the long hose on the cold side from the intercooler to the charge pipe. This hose upgrade has a full 3" construction, and when combined with their 3" charge pipes increases the diameter that air has to travel through by 50 percent!

Highlights:

• Faster Spool
• Increased Overall Airflow
• Direct Fit

Constructed with 5 layers of extra-durable, high-temperature silicone, the ARM FMIC Hose Upgrade has been tested to hold over 30psi. Whether you're running a stock turbo N54 or N55 at 22psi or even upgraded turbo/s at 27psi, the ARM FMIC Hose upgrade is able to withstand even the most demanding applications.

In addition to the the size and durability of the hoses, one of the biggest improvements you will see with the ARM FMIC hose upgrade is the single-piece construction on both sides of the intercooler. This will give the charged air flowing from the turbo/s in your N54 or N55 powered BMW one uninterrupted pathway from the turbos to the intercooler and from the intercooler to the charge pipe. Being constructed of a single piece minimizes the turbulence caused by connection points between hoses and piping. Combined with our N54/N55 Charge Pipe Upgrade, your BMW will have full 3” piping from the intercooler cold side all the way to the throttle body.

The hot-side hose is sized at 2.5” to match up with the OEM turbo outlet size and expands to 3.25” ID to fit up to the ARM FMIC. The cold-side hose is also 3.25” at the intercooler and reduces slightly to a 3” ID which is maintained all the way to the charge pipe. With the ARM cold-side hose being one solid piece, it removes two connections in the middle of piping found on most other N54/N55 intercooler piping upgrades. Every connection brings with it a small disruption in airflow, the severity of the turbulence varying depending on the characteristics of the connection. Removing these extra connections in the intercooler piping system improves the transition of air flowing from the intercooler to the charge pipe.

**NOTE**

This upgrade requires the use of ARM's 5" or 7" Front Mount Intercooler as well as their N55 or N54 Charge Pipe.
