interesting stuff that I did not know. I just got my JDM v7 turbo setup and I was comparing to the US stuff and looky what I saw. none of this is really a big deal, I just thought it was cool to compare.
downpipe is obviously bellmouth for the JDM folks... doesnt look like the piping is any larger though.
