T78. Its the NPR Large, custom piping.. I will take pics of the engine bay in a lil bit. I had to cut out the front bumper support that the latch is hooked to, but when I put hood pins it eliminated the latch anyways. Piping was a pain to make.

Ok, here are a few notes real quick. Once you cut out the latch support, there are some vertical supports that conncect to the latch support bar. those will need to be trimmed and flattened to allow as much clearance to the front bumper support as posible. I will have pictures tonight for you guys. Thanks.

I have a medium NPR. Works damn good for stock twins...but I'm not sure it up to the task of a big single.

Let us know how the intake temps are

I dont have a datalogit or anything to tell you exactly. but from the hand comparison.. the elbow off the t78, compared to the pipe from intercooler to throttle body.. the difference is huge, one burns my hand, the otherone is cool to the touch after a hard run.

Oh yeah, the purple is a prowler purple. It has lots of pearl in it. In person its very impressive looking. Whether you perfer purple or not.. To each his own.. right? And yeah, I dont have to worry about trading my rx7 for my fiance any day.. she loves 7's we are building her a 2nd gen as we speak.
