Thanks for the compliments. I have progress pics but was to tired to type up and show them yet.
Are you calling me an ******* I don't understand that comment. I will be making the UIM at a later date, Deals gap is too close to be making something like that. Hopefully I will be able to drive the car around the block this saturday. I still have a ton of work to complete though .
I have not gone to bed earlier than 2AM this whole week because of this car, what sucks is I have to wake up at 6:30 am to go to work, oh well, it will be worth it in the end.... I hope.

^ No, authentic wiggins are all purple. There are other manufactures that make a clamp with a simmilar style and those are available in different colors. Vibrant is one such company.

, That just might work.
What is the idea?
It will definately be nice to drive it again. I stay out of the FD picture thread because I get jelous of the running FD's. I still have a ton to do and a few more late nights needed to complete the car.
Thanks
There are three reasons for going with 3" piping.
1. Wiggins clamps are not available in 2.75"
2. I wanted to run a bigger throttle body.
3. This is the main reason, IMO on a stock FD Mazda engineers decided to use 2.75" piping. The stock FD makes 255 FWHP. I am essentially doubling the power of the engine, therefore, doubling the air flow (roughly). It only make sense to me to step up the piping size a bit because of the increased air flow.
