This is my dual-carb AT balance pipe. As far as I know it is an original 
part:

The two ends connect to the manifolds, and the center pipe goes down to the 
vacuum modulator.

This is my front tin. As you can see it is slightly the worse for wear, but 
you can see the notch that surrounds the balance pipe where it goes down to 
the AT:

Is it the same as the FI version?
