"This is the replacement Y-Pipe from the 99+ Spec RX-7's. This new Y-PIPE redirects the airflow coming from the turbos more efficiently along with replacing the stock rubber tubing that is known to crack and leak."

Actually the "efini" 'Y' Pipe was introduced w/ the 96model year cars afaik the 96-98 & 99+ 'Y"' pipes are the same. However in 99 (iirc) the "efini" brand name was dropped and RX-7s became MAZDA's again.

So they both will fit a 93-95 FD and have superior turbo air flow over the "stock/factory" 93-95 y-pipe. .. And no rubber coupler between the y-pipe and cross-over tube.

TTT:
I thought you were going Single?
But really Nice Polish job there
I only did the y - IC (Upper) part on mine
areXseven: Lots of sanding and a 6" Buffing wheel is how you get that High Polish, I started off w/ a carbide cutter in an air die grinder to remove all the mold seams and risers, then coarse sanding drums on my dremel and finally hand sanding with progressivly finer grits (220, 400, 600) and finsh w/Aluminum polish and a 6" cotton buffing wheel mounted on a bench grinder/buffer

twinturboteddy used to do polishing - had a regular sweat shop going
pm him - But like Mahjik says - Gotham Racing does it an are in texas - or just look in the Yellow Pages under Metal Finishing (&/or) Polishing for a shop local to you. I spent about 8 hrs polishing just the top part of mine , Let me know what they quote you & I'll think about it.
