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!!
