I recently upgraded my ic pipes while doing my top end rebuild. I found this kit on ebay that is a full fmic kit for a 2g with a j-pipe. I contacted them and requested only the piping. A few days and $189 later and i received this kit.
First glance:
It was all nicely packaged and it all had a decent polish on it. But i took some towels and blue magic polish to it and was able to give it a mirror finish with little effort. Took about 2 hours for all of it by hand.
Installation:
Upon installing the kit i immediatley noticed that the j-pipe was slighty interfereing with my pass side radiator fan. Next i noticed that the "blow off valve" in the kit didnt even line up with the mount plate on the uip, i was not planning on running it anyways.The 1g dsm bov fit fine.
Fit:
Despite these things the fit is fairly decent, made a few more cuts out of my bumper.The couplers and clamps are nice quality, nylon woven silicone and all T-bolt clamps.
Bottom line:
Overall i give this kit an 8. for the price it is a great deal.

Would you mind cleaning up the grammar and formatting a bit? Spelling "piping" properly would be a good start for people who manage to find the Search function...
 
Thanks! Didn't mean to pick on you, I just click on anything that says CX to see what's going on. ;)
 
i recieved a pm asking about the the welds on the pipeing so here are some pictures.
