+1 for HKS or Feed , they have the snake head type of finish that wraps around the steering column.

Ok so i bought the HKS downpipe with the bent top made for JDM cars and now i'm trying to get it on! I read alot of the threads and the faqs are only good for the LHD rx7s. Now i'm trying to remove the steering colum in order to get the pipe through, I removed the bolt located in the middle and on the bottom ( only bolts i saw) but the steering colum still wont budge! any help would be great!

When I changed my DP I had to do the same thing. I ended up using a long screwdriver and a hammer to tape the steering shaft out. On the other side of that, if you take out the studs, you can replace them with allen head bolts and won't have to mess with the steering at all. This will make it a lot easier if you ever put the stocker back on or need to changed it later for whatever reason. Also, if you didn't do it, taking the y-pipe off makes it a lot easier.

I live in japan and have went from stock to aftermarket and back to stock on mine. It makes a nice difference, turbos spool quick as _ _ _ _, but be sure you have a boost controller because you WILL creep. While running mine I looked down at my guage and I was sitting at almost .9 bar or 12-13psi.

Let me know if you need anything else.
