SR tank does not include duct, my FD came with it, so luckily i didn't have to pay their outrageous asking price. Couldn't tell you how wel its working because i just have my stock ducting on it and its not sealing very well right now.

Anyone use the SR Cold Air Intake... ill do a search real quick. i heard that those box intakes are best since they avoid heatsoaking.. however the pettit one looks to have a heat shield.

used SMIC, hmm i think i will stick with the brand new pettit since it should be a straight forward install, includes ducting and everything to install and i shouldnt have to move around stuff...

so.. i guess with that said.. change of "combo"

Combo #1
Coolcharge II Intercooler from Pettit - $1000
http://pettitracing.com/rx7/index_turbo.htm

For the intake right now im looking at:
TKT Cold Air Intake from Pettit -$350
http://pettitracing.com/rx7/index_intake.htm

subtotal - 1350

OR!!!

and Combo #2

And the SR intake (i know someone said SR tries to rip people off which is why im asking about this intake... its a cold air and seems reasonably priced but is it worth the extra 150?)
http://www.srmotorsports.com/sr93intk.html - 500

Coolcharge II Intercooler from Pettit - $1000
http://pettitracing.com/rx7/index_turbo.htm

subtotal - 1500

The used Greddy/Trust and PFS SMICs shouldnt need any rearranging. Thats why Im looking at them to but you are right, finding one with all the stuff included is a pain. The good thing is that the piping and even making your own duct isnt that expensive and people selling their ICs aren't charging much.

The Petit intake is just the k&n filters which you can get for about $50.. Just throw on some ebay hard pipes and your good. Are you even listening?

haha 7_rocket, i am listening to what your saying and im contemplating it.

I guess i could go that route and just purchase the heat shield... save myself $$$ dinero.

Thanks again!

definitely going with the new Pettit SMIC for now though... unless i can find something used with everything.

Heat shield is a good idea. Although I don't have one..

Good luck
