I've been searching for pics of this installed and forums discussing it's fitment and quality. Haven't turned up anything yet.

Does anyone have any USEFULL comments on this?

I would prefer not to hear idiots making personal opinions because I dont care.
I want experiances from individuals who have used Godspeed products and pics of how it looks and fits installed.

It is a kit that replaces the twin turbo collector pipe and intakes and such. Similar to the Greddy, HKS and Nismo kits but ALOT cheaper. Here is one of the places I found it.

It will probably do the same as the name brand kits. The reason Greddy, HKS, Nismo, etc went with the real pipes is because the stock "Twin Turbo" pipe has a poor merge zone for the front turbo (90 degree turn into flowing air). It's like a major intersection with no stop lights or merging lanes to turn. Although the Godspeed piping kit is cheaper then the rest, I still think it's overly priced for what it is. A simple fix is to cut a slit into the twin turbo pipe and slip a piece of sheet aluminum down the slit and weld to divide and promote a proper merge between the two turbos.

Stock pipe's flow, there's two colors of smoke, orange for one turbo and white for another. Noticed how turbulent it is.

Modded pipe with a divider. It now has a nice even flow easily distinguishing between the two fog colors.

Looks nice, and screw all those people that swing from name brand parts and knock china stuff. Especially with piping kind of stuff, they are just fine, and all made in the same factory in China anyways. That claimed 25-30hp gain is laughable though.

I already know about the stock pipe modification but I want a cleaner more functional pipe setup for me. It was more than just the flow quality I was looking for.

I looked that up and I wouldn't buy those ones, They are on ebay and I saw those earlier this morning and I didn't think they looked ok. I've heard people using Godspeed alot thats why I wanted to check these out.

Oh, and BTW; "e.g." (er go) is latin for "therefore" which makes zero sense in your sentence. "I.E." (id este) which means "in other words" is what you were attempting to say.

Well, it would in fact appear that e.g. is also as you described as what you intended. +1 for you. -3 however for making nonsensical unrelated posts stemming from your repressed memories of being fondled by your priest when you were a little boy.

I know, sorry. It just gets under my skin sometimes the random crap people post relating contributing neither tech information or even a modicum of wit to our little forum. It was middle of the day here for me BTW so at least I had that going for me :woot:
