Talking Just installed...

Hello all, fairly new to the board and thought I'd share my after-market experiance with you. I have a friend at work that is an RX7 owner and told me about SR Motorsports. I purchased and installed the GT-4 Kit which includes :

Cold Air Intake System

Underdrive Power Pulleys

Complete High Flow Exhaust System

Stainless High Flow Midpipe

The site claims nearly 40hp gain, I seriously doubt it, but the performance increase is definately noticeable. The sound is also incredible, exactly what I was looking for (not crazy loud, but very throaty). Next I plan on getting the clutch and flywheel from SR. Their parts are kinda expensive, but I am a firm believer in "you get what you pay for".

Everything was rather simple to install, and SR Motorsports sends installation instructions along with the parts.

Yes, was quite pricey, but these are definately quality parts. I am very pleased with the appearance and performance.

I've had this car for over a year and still no FI. I'll be growing gray hairs before something like that comes out on the market.
