When I bought my Greddy FMIC and piping they came with arrows on the pipes representing the flow of air, I think 3 out of 4 of the pipes the arrows were put on wrong... You'll have to look at pictures of people who have that kit or just try different ways...

The third pipe, S pipe is different for the greddy smic pipings. You need to have the pipe cut.

*I also had the problem with the length of the pipes that connect from the elbow to the ic. I had to cut about 1.5in to fit it as well.

Where did you buy the 3 piece kit? The one from RX7store is supposed to fit both the stock and greddy smic.

Greddy smic and stock smic has different inlet shape. You can not have same 3 piece kit that will fit both greddy smic and stock smic. You need a "L" shaped pipe instead of the "s" pipe

Oh ok, well maybe jason needs to change the product info on it then.

"Will work with the stock intercooler system and the Greddy stock mount intercooler."

The 3rd "S" pipe is "not" for the Greddy SMIC, it's for the OEM SMIC "only". You shouldn't have bought it. The Greddy has a intake pipe on it and comes with a small macaroni shaped pipe to connect to your y-pipe/air pipe. It also comes with another pipe for the exhaust side to connect to the stock elbow but that side can be replaced with the 2-peice kit.

You can always cut that "S" pipe. The greddy smic does come with their own pipings but they are not polished. If I were you, I'd just cut it.
