i think it's pretty obvious...
and IMO, that's not "clean"

clean for a mk3 owner :aigo:

 

[IHI-RHC7]

This is clean

 

[Joel W.]

that is clean, no ps, no cruze, no abs no smog, no ac... hahahha theres 75lbs+- lighter.

 

[Nick M]

huh? you talkin bout intercoolers

Yep. They dont make an intake manifold that I can think of. And the front facing manifold goes with a different intercooler pipes. It is the whole package man.

nick-

gotcha. just wasnt sure what the ic had to do w/ what you were talkin bout. you were speaking of it as a whole, not just a single component.

IHI-

who's car is that?

 

[tubbie]

This is clean

Wait till he installs the harness and electrical stuff that's needed, it wont be so clean anymore....

4 inch exhaust and a 5 inch catback or turnout.

 

[Joel W.]

5" cat back, omg.. thats some good flow... hahhahahha

 

[IHI-RHC7]

Tubbie, the harness is there. You can see it if you look hard.
Funny that it's a modified NA intake mani and a Ct with a stock afm in there!

 

[jimi87-t]

Just a thought...., What about the fact that inside the stock mani, the air has to change direction more than it does in a FFI. (not to mention all the bends in the stock plumbing). Fluid dynamics would show that less direction change means less restriction..... better flow.

Edit: BTW, I'm running a FFI with 2.5" IC pipes.

 

[Joel W.]

this is true, for example on 6" pipe, every 90 degree elbow is the same restriction as 10 ft of straight pipe..
