Thanks AMS!

Ordered the turboback Tuesday and got it today, damn that was fast.

First off the fitment of this exhaust is amazing. Second, the quality of this exhaust is awesome.

I uninstalled my Buschur TBE and Installed the AMS in about 2 hours. Thus far I haven't really noticed to much of a difference in the loudness of the exhaust. The AMS one is louder at high RPMs, but at cruising speed it's quieter. It feels like it pulls a little harder on the butt dyno, but that may be the fact I went from an exhaust with a HFC to a exhaust with a test pipe.

Anyways thanks again to the AMS crew. I look forward to doing more business in the future!

I'm considering both the Buschur and the AMS TBE with test pipe. Could you tell me why you changed to AMS? Thanks for the info.

Originally I wanted AMS exhaust. But I thought I would benefit by saving a couple hundred dollars, so I went with the Buschur.

Primarily I switched because eventually I want to do an AMS 50 trim setup. I also switched because I just couldnt get use to the look of the Buschur TBE. The AMS Exhaust is a lot more visually pleasing. Don't get me wrong the Buschur Exhaust is no doubt an excellent exhaust, you really cant go wrong with either. Just depends on your tastes.

After installing it, I noticed that it seems to fit a little better than the Buschur TBE. I didn't need spacers for the Tie Bars. I only had a problem with the test pipe flanges hitting up against a heat shield. After some pounding and bending, that problem was fixed.

Good luck with your decision.
