SUPRA4EVA Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 As my original top intercooler pipe is very tired and blistered I though I'd splash out on a new OEM pipe. When I took it out of it's bag I noticed they were not even close...my original pipe is way longer. So I didn't bother trying it on as it just looks way too short and I may have to return it. But costing almost 200, I'm kinda annoyed as I don't know if they will take it back now as I had it out of it's bag... It does appear on 1993-2002 cars, P/N is on both JDM and EUR cars. Unless I'm missing something? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've not come across this difference before personally, but I suspect the difference between 40 and 50 is probably nothing, as 50 started for the facelift cars with the non-VVTi engines where no engine changes appear to have been made from the pre-facelift. 17345-46040 is 100% the number for your UK spec RHD car. The 90 being a post VVTi no. likely explains the difference. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 90 being a post VVTi no. likely explains the difference. My bad, 17345-46090 appears on 1993-2002 JDM cars only but still...I was gonna mention VVTI but it appears on pre VVTI cars too. And yes 17345-46040/17345-46050 appears on both JDM, US and EUR for the entire run of the specific spec and the illustrations are identical (3 tabs sticking out). 17345-46040 would be the 'right' P/N for my one. They had computer issues that morning so I was told to order using the online checkout, this is the only one they had and it didn't mention VVTI or anything weird so I assumed it would fit fine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
