These kits aren't too bad for the money but the core can cause some extra lag over what you get from some of the slightly more expensive rivals.

Spool on mine is 1.2bar at 3200rpm on td05-16g with autobahn FMIC and 93WRX heads. Throttle response seems pretty crisp. Certainly no driveability issues as it is very competitive in its national sprint class. I did have an issue with pipes blowing off when I went over 1.3bar midrange but that was partly down to my dodgy installation! I doubled clipped the errant hoses in the end which stopped it.

I haven't seen pressure drop figures for the different cores, tbh if they are all of similar dimensions and bar and plate construction I doubt there will be big differences. The pipe runs themselves will probably have a greater effect being as you have to modify them to fit pre 96 and I imagine there are a few different ways of achieving that.

Nice pressie from your Mrs, good on her!
