If it comes w/ all that piping... that is a good deal. That's a long *** IC tho... make some measurements on your car first to make sure it will all fit. Is it a Z31 kit?

That's a tight setup... literally Looks like they used an electric rad fan to make the piping fit.

What really kills me is that you hardly ever see an intercooler setup that retains the factory air conditioning system. So, I guess the only way is to "replacate" the HKS piping setup.
