    WTB: Hard pipe kit

    I am after a hard pipe kit just to shut the wife up more than anything as she's wanted one for a while now but i have done the bloke thing and been sorting out my car first...

    Cheers Rob.

    Just clarifying the possibly obvious - for a VR-4, right?

    I think I've seen them on rhdjapan.com but IIRC they were prohibitively expensive for me.

    Not sure who else stocks them. It might be worth checking ebay as there seem to be more and more people selling stuff for the VR4.

    HEHE Look at the picture you have. That engine have a hard pipe kit fitted.
    Basically you replace the rubber hoses from the turbos to the intake with metal tubing to get better throttle response.

    It also looks better
