GRIFFIN 20x10.2.75 Installed on my '97 GS-T
Here is my new Griffin 20x10.2.75" from RRE. I did all the custom upper and lower piping myself. Since the turbo outlet on my 16g and J-pipe is only about 2", I went with 2.25" lower I/C pipe, and 2.5" upper I/C pipe. It will be easy later on to upgrade the lower I/C pipe when and if i put a larger turbo on. Overall, I feel the project turned out excellent. It looks just as good if not better than a Greddy kit. I had a couple people tell me I should come out with a kit. I used 4 mandrel 90degree bends. The straight pipe across the top is a 24" piece of stainless. I buffed it out to improve the looks, not that anyone can see it though. I used 20 clamps in all. I double-clamped everything to ensure a hose won't come flying off. I also did end up putting the bumper back on. I just thought it would be wise to do so. I used a router and a carbide bit and it cut easily. Performance? Well right off the bat, I noticed a difference. I only had the car going since yesterday 5/5/02, and it began to rain, so the car always goes in the garage when it rains. I drove it around for about 30 minutes came home and checked the intercooler. The inlet side was warm and the outlet side was cold! Pretty neat. I haven't done any hard pulls because I just rebuild the tranny and I'm slowly breaking it in. I also just put a Phantom Grip in too, so we'll see how that goes. Below are the pics I took. I have to get one with the facia back on yet. It looks so mean!!
