Pic of a 99 spec engine?

[Shaq]

Has any1 got a picture of a 99 spec engine bay, i just want to see what color the cross over pipe is which is connected to the y-pipe?
i assume it is metal on the later spec rx7 instead of plastic?
i just want to get one and chrome it up obviously i cant do that if its plastic.


i think mazda will charge alot for it tho......

thanks

Shaq it\'s not as easy as that, that cross over pipr connects to the efini y pipe the earlier models do not have an efini y pipe so the pipe won\'t fit.

it wont fit ?    it looks the same ?    :confused:

so the crossover pipe connects to this efini y-pipe which is not on my car ? i take it that this is on the later specs too ?

yep 96 onwards have the efini y pipe as standard so have that crossover pipe. The only thing you could do is get the efini y pipe also.

It was a common area for boost issues. The old design was crap. Alot of pre96 cars have samco hose fitted instead with decent hose clips to solve this issue.

ok.
i take it mazda (UK) would have a hard time getting this part ? the y-pipe/crossover pipe?
as it is on a jap spec car only ?
