Hi guys,

I need to replace my currently ghetto IC pipe setup. As you can see from the pic below, I'm using silicon hoses where hardpipes should be. I was going to pick up the GReddy aluminim IC pipes, but there looks like there's going to be a fitment issue. Should I be looking into doing the AST removal mod? Or is there some way I can get the hardpipes and the AST to fit? Thanks in advance.

When you order the piping kit, make sure you order the right kind. Greddy made two different versions, one for the greddy smic which has a shorter hard pipe and one for the stock smic which has a longer hard pipe.

Thanks! Since I've got the Blitz SMIC, I should look to get the one compatible with the GReddy SMIC, correct?

Looking at the GReddy site, it looks like the correct hardpipes for the GReddy SMIC are the 2-piece version.

What about anybody else out there running hardpipes with an SMIC and an AST? I'd like to see some engine pics so that I can get an idea of how all of this stuff can fit together.

I don't think you'll need alot of room. Just move your AST to the outside of the mounting bracket. If that isn't enough, use a spacer on the OEM bracket, bend the bracket a little from 90 degrees, or make your own bracket.

I actually thought about this after I posted--this should work.

Thanks everyone!
