Your question doesn't make any sense. Do you mean how does an aftermarket FPR differ from the stock one? Most aftermarket ones are adjustable, and some are also rising-rate as opposed to linear-rate. Why do you think you need one? I think you need to find out a bit more about FPR's before you shell out any money.

FYI those won't fit on rx7's if you are trying... I'm not sure how they can list all mazdas as one... the 89-91 rx7 one is attached to the fuel rail you can't even remove it.

You'll have to run -an hose. You can do it the expensive way and used braided hose. Or use a combination of aluminum hard tube to a compression fitting that summit sells to braided. I just get all my stuff from summit..they're about 15min down the road. Prepare to spend about 500.00 to do it right.

Now that I think about it, you can rig it up with 5/16th hose..but I figure, if you're going to go that route, you must be planning on making serious power in the future. Go all the way.

I'm going to run it much like teds site explained. Except I'm running -8 to the filter and up to the Y block that exits as dual -6. I will then run a -6 return.
