Very nice and clean looking. I'm having bad luck now with my capri getting things done. Will have to wait more before I can post anything on it.

Nice. How much HP do you think that added? Do you plan on making this a product for your online store? Does the bumper still fit on right?

The bumper was a tight fit on the bottom but that's it.  The way my builder did it, I am VERY pleased.  On the driver's side piping, there was a hole cut to fit the pipe perfectly.  In fact it looks factory done.  It's out of the fender enough so it doesn't get road crap so much.  He was able to keep the A/C but I had to get rid of the mount for the factory fog lights.  I made the trade off, and the IC piping won     I'm only running it at about 11psi and I ran with and Galant VR4 with a 16G turbo running 16psi and caught him into 3rd gear.  Tranny was slipping all the way through 2nd and 3rd too.  That will be taken care of this Jan though, with a Fidanza flywheel and ACT 2100lb clutch.  I'm not sure what kind of hp it's gained but I guarantee I'm hitting full boost faster and holding it there longer.  Once I get this clutch issue taken care of, I will be going with Greddy's Emanage to supply me some more fuel and other issues, to make it a little safer for me to up the boost.  Sorry for the long post, and thanks for the post Anthony and Pony.  

About getting a kit put together, this would be a pretty custom job even if I can get him to reproduce the piping.  I know it can be done, if if somebody is really interested, I can work on some numbers.

It's times like this when I look at my NA and go..."Maybe...just maybe I should sell you and get your big brother."

Trust me, you won't regret it if you did.  You will, however, wonder why you ever drove that sluggish NA for so long.  No matter how good my NA looked with about 40k less miles, I would NEVER wish it to come back and switch with my XR2.
