Actually, I don't think HKS makes a kit for the stock IC on the RX-7 (at least they don't have a kit listed for the RX-7 on their website).

I think GReddy is going to be your only choice besides getting some custom piping made.

Wouldn't it be cheaper to have someone make the pipes for you?

No it won't. 2 2.75" aluminum U-bend already cost me $180 and that's not even polished. Also the pipe kit are one piece mandrel pipes, if you make the pipe yourself, it will most likely be cut and weld, which doesn't look as clean as the Greddy pipe kit.

Well, I bought the Greddy pipe kit to replace my busted stock intercooler pipes. I was pretty unhappy with the purchase really.

1. It does not fit well...at least mine didn't. The elbow and intercooler outlet pipe fit fine, but the s-shaped intercooler inlet pipe was a lousy fit. I had to trim the silicone coupler to get it to work.

2. The finish SUCKS. True, the pipes are "polished" but the quality was poor. The polish was really dull, and the pipes had several scratches and dents in them. The only reason I didn't send them back was because I was going to have them coated with JetHot Sterling Silver...so the ugly finish was going to be covered up anyway.

my finish is actually pretty good. and when i polished it with blue magic it came out even shinier

the fit of the short S-pipe sucks tho. it dosent even come close.

i wonder why they cant even match a simple pipe. i'm guessing its for the smic that they make and not the stock one. thats my only guess because i was really shocked it didnt fit.

DAMN! You guys got all the shiny pipes and I got the ugly ones. Now I'm pissed

See, what really happened was Greddy KNEW that I was going to get mine ceramic coated anyway, so they just didn't bother putting the effort into polishing my set....yeah, that's the ticket
