Which front mount kit did you buy? The M-spec? I've never heard of a "kit" not coming with the necessary piping. Is is possible you bought a kit designed for a single turbo?

Have you talked to the RX7Store yet?

As far as I know, there is no place to just buy Greddy FMIC piping. Greddy doesn't necessarily want you buying piping for one of their kits, but not the whole kit itself. Call the RX7Store and tell them what's going on, otherwise you'll need to fab up your own piping: http://www.burnsstainless.com/

Just buy the correct diameter aluminum piping from one of the many suppliers in the USA. The internet is there for a reason instead of just asking questions.

IMO, it's probably the truth. However, what you can and should do is take pictures of the piping and get a few measurements of them. Then contact Greddy USA and see if they can verify you have the correct piping for the kit. Otherwise, you are stuck doing custom piping which you most likely want to avoid.

You also have to remember that the M-Spec is their el-cheapo model. It probably doesn't have the Greddy logo stamped all over everything like their kits that costs 2x as much.

Well, did you get everything in a Greddy box or not? Did you look at the pictures on rx7store.net to see if your piping looks like that? Are you aware that that kit requires the Greddy elbow and connects to the stock y-pipe?

Nobody is there but you to see the problem. So, you need to take pictures of these comparisons and send them to the RX7Store.

I talked to you earlier... Before you get all bent out of shape, post some pics on the forum..

1. What part of the 4 piece pipings does not fit? - take some pics. Otherwise, no one knows why in the hell its not fitting.
2. My couplers did not say Greddy on them either... but it doesn't mean it wasn't from Greddy..
3. Make sure its not for a single turbo... If your shop did infact installed FMICs before on fds and knows quite a bit, they should of realized if it was for a single right away.. If the pipings are for a single and your shop didn't realize it, go somewhere else.. LOL!
