Hard to tell from the pic, but I hope that's exhaust side...

pfffft lol dump tube for external wg you can re route that into your dp/exhaust if you want, but externals sound sick I would never re route them back into the exhaust

Ive had this kit for the longest time. Steve(Tinman) and I both have 5AT trannys, upgraded by Speed Force Racing, and we both have built motors now but b4 when I was with stock internals, i did 410 rwhp at 7 PSI. Not bad for a daily driver. I put on a good HARD pushed 60-80 miles a day to and from work and chillen with friends. If you go onto their website, you will see my dyno chart along with other data. I live in socal and will have my car finally alll complete by next week so if anyone wants to meet up for a ride, ill be more than happy to show you the power... Great great kit which I think is a perfect fit for myself but ofcourse everyone has their own needs.

sundevil, I will let you know as soon as I get my car outta the shop. Keep in mind though that its not gonna be fair cause I will be able to boost at 15+ psi to make big numbers PLUS theres a little something extra im dumping in that rhymes with Nitrous... lol
to answer Shady908, yes this kit will fit on a 5AT. Actually the first 2 cars this kit was ever put on(Joe from NJ and mine) were 5AT. I drove a solid almost 40,000 miles until I blew cause I fukced around with my manual boost controller that was a lump of shi$. Now I got the Greddy Profec-e01. I love it!
Ill post pics up when everything is done.

1. Will this kit fit on a 5AT Coupe? Also do you need an upgraded exhaust? Will stock exhaust and cats work?
2. Do you guys do installation as well? How much on top of the 7795 is it?

We professionally install and tune every product we sell unlike most online shops...

I met a lot of dudes that are heavily involved in Formula D, including the founder, so i plan on getting involved a lot this year - when i can...
Ok, back on topic with this thread, MRC, would this kit be good for a Daily driver such as myself? U know im looking at all the kits you guys sell but this one seems to be the most "baller" of all the kits...but is it too much for a daily???

I've run both dumps to the atmosphere and rerouted before, and let's just say that the G35 isn't exactly a race car, so an exhaust reroute would be highly preferred IMO.

If you read my post above I mention that I put on a shi% load of miles in crazy LA traffic everyday. Ive pushed my car and turbo kit extremely hard. Tim is a witness since hes done all my work haha. The price is high compared to other kits because of their quality, efficiency, and service. Not saying anything about any of the other kits but power output/psi compared to other companies is one of the highest with the Speed Force kit. I wish I knew how to upload a video to show yall my cars performance

And making power at low boost numbers is great from an efficiency standpoint, but you're still moving the same large massflows. It's not like 400 ft-lbs from 7 psi with this kit is the same stress on the engine as 7 psi with another kit that only puts out 320 ft-lbs.
