Sorry guys,
Nate,


I still havent gotten round to taking pics for ya, so I edited you one. The blue circles are where my pipes run. If you look on your pic, you can see the gaps just under the main chasis brace. My pipes are 2.5" on the turbo side and 3" on the intake side. Both fit with no probs.

It is only looks. What's inside the GTR one is specially designed veins that provide perfect air distribution across all 4 intake ports. Also with having these veins it creates less turbulance inside the dynamic chamber thus giving it better overall flow compared to the GTX.

If you do your reseach on a really good aftermaket plenum, they should all have bell mouths raised inside the dynamic chamber where the runners start to go down to the head. The veins inside the GTR plenum work similiar to this.

Rupe, I haven't got a NA one, but i'd be curious to see inside one too.
