Not the best design out there, but it is a good price money wise.

You could go cheaper and buyer a DIY kit, but for plug n play, go for it if you're not shooting for anything over 450HP.

I am very interested in this kit, but won't be able to afford it until the winter sometime. I plan on putting a 57-trim CT26 and this kit on and I'm hoping for 325 at the wheels on pump gas and maybe 14 psi. Anyways, be the first, if it's not what you're looking for you can probably resell it.

I think the key word here is "money" ;)

FYI, my bigger spearco replica and DIY kit with all reduction couplers and 90 degree bend couplers with clamps needed cost a tad over $500.00

It's the same thing from post #3 and it only replaces the IC and lower pipe section to make the stock piping mate up to it. Its the Chineese knockoff of the Spearco kit.

Why not just buy a 24x12x3 ic or a 24x9x3 ic from driftmotion.com, and buy a IC pipe kit from them and be done for $300 plus shipping then you have an IC with better endtanks and that will surfice you for all the mods you do to your car.

You're going to need more than one piping kit if you get that IC, unless you have a FFIM, which I'd say he doesn't.

More piping=less efficient. For the average supra enthusiast upgrading the IC and Piping, they will need to stick with an IC with inlets and outlets on the same side. Besides, the charge will flow through more of the IC core in a setup like that whereas on the IC with endtanks on opposite sides and inlets and outlets on the bottom, you'll have a spot up top that doesn't flow air though as well.
