Na for real, I thought the efini y-pipe flows better than the stocker, to the point that people have experienced an "extra" psi after installing it (assuming no boost controller) ?

Mazda claims a 10 HP increase with the addition of this pipe, and no other changes.

The only other mod I did at the time was an HKS intake elbow and i didn't think that would do much performance wise.

By the way, I see an awful lot of untaped openings on that engine. I assume you won't mind if a load of gravel gets dumped on top of that baby. In other words, your swapping engines, right?
