If the FM kit has a non-OEM EGR or EGR location, it could cause interference. We have not test fitted the Qmax with non OEM EGR pipes or mounting locations.

HTH
I am running the Qmax reroute with a FM stage 1 kit. I ended up removing the EGR pipe to get more space to get everything together. Be very careful threading the manifold side back on, I ended up cross threading mine, had to cut the egr pipe, then remove the manifold to get the cross threaded portion out and chase the threads to fix it. With the new pipe, i threaded it on all the way to make sure it would seat, then backed it out about 3/4 of way and got the intake manifold side lined up before tightening everything down. Good luck.

I believe FM even has a custom EGR pipe for certain years. No clue how it works routing around the QMax.
