Unhappy Polished Piping

Hey guys, got some questions for you.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=2412260326

Thats basically what I want my intercooler piping to look like. Ok here goes trying to explain what im trying to ask: Im trying to stick with Greddy but the piping and ypipe and elbow and blah blah have gotten me very confused. I want everything I can to be polished, sticking with Greddy. The 2 piece and 3 piece additional piping from them has gotten me confused as well. If someone could just tell me everything I would need to get my intercooler pipes to look like that. Thanks. I know total newb, but we all have to start at one time, just getting info from the experts and pro's.

What intercooler do you have? Still stock?

If you want ALL metal piping, you will have to buy the Greddy 3-piece piping kit, the Efini Y-pipe, and metal intake pipes. Usually the metal intake pipes come polished and I think all 3 Greddy pipes come polished but the Efini Y-pipe does not.

Well I was planning on getting the Greddy FMIC for the stock twins. Does the elbow come with the 3 piece pipe kit or is that a seperate part? and do the two main pipes you see going down to the intercooler come in the intercooler kit or are those extra piping? By the way I'm only asking here because the mazdastore didnt give a clear explanation probably cause of my poor skills on describing what I wanted to know, but you guys so far are following me.

The 3-piece kit comes with the polished elbow and two intercooler pipes.
It will fit the stock intercooler also(with a little coupler bending).

Just to clarify,

If you get the GReddy FMIC, the ONLY other polished pipe you should need to purchase is the GReddy Elbow.

The GReddy IC Polished Piping kit is for stock mount IC's only:

http://66.216.67.51/subcatmfgprod.asp?0=216&1=330&2=-1

The 2-piece kit above would be useless for an FMIC. With 3-piece kit, you would only use the elbow for a FMIC so just get the elbow separately with the GReddy FMIC:

http://66.216.67.51/subcatmfgprod.asp?0=216&1=329&2=-1

Then all you will need is the polished Efini Y-Pipe.

I'm flattered....that's my engine bay you want yours to look like That is the Greddy 2 Row for Twins with piping for the Greddy elbow...Got mine from the RX-7 Store.net The elbow is already polished and you will have to get all the FMIC pipes polished...Then I have the Efiny Y-Pipe and the cross over section of that I also had to polish...

Good luck on your polishing adventures!

More engine bay pics in my sig

Yup you posted it up on ebay and that engine bay is the exact same that I wanted mine to look like. Same intake and everything. So none of the pipes came polished in the FMIC kit? and if not how did you get them polished?
