I have searched for but havent found any ams lower i/c pipe install / fitment pics or a dyno chart showing the hp gains associated by adding the lower i/c pipe.

I would really like to see both the stock & ams lower i/c pipes sitting side by side

I have seen the ams website, but only found the pipe sitting alone, not installed.

Could someone post a link or 2 please?

Thanks.

 

I too would like to see these

 

damn, you guys should have told me last week
we just installed mine in sams garage.

install is simple but requires removal of the front bumper and that god awful undertray.
other than that its two clamps (one on the turbo out and one on the intercooler in) and two support bolts (that are located behind the bumper and not easy to get to otherwise)

the pipes remove basically one kink. ill take a pic of my stock piping so you can see the difference compared to the kit pics

 

tokeone- could you take a pic of the new pipe installed as well please?

I am curious to see how that pipe fits. That's if you have the car up on jackstands to take a pic.

Thanks again

BTW, could you tell any performance difference or spool up difference? I know the gain isnt huge, but I have to ask.

Thanks again

 

i have the buschur upper pipe coming (hopefully any day) and a new silicon 45 degree 2.5" for the pipe kit (it uses the stock flex tube into the intercooler, not a fan of that)
so ill be back down there soon and will for sure take a few pics.
the car feels more responsive with the kit. or at least it did. ive been driving around with it for a week now, so im just used to it. nothing real big. but thats to be expected with 7-10hp that they claim.
im hoping to feel things more with the addition of the silicon 45 and the buschur upper.
you get rid of a good amount of flex pipe which is always positive, however, you still have the flex on the other side of the intercooler to the throttle body to worry about, so it seems to me that youd lose most of the gains on that side cause those pipes would expand if you were more efficently moving air that way.

 

heres one of the pics


compared to ams

 

red box

 

When I installed mine the boost jumped from 21 psi to 23 psi. After I turned it down there was still a big kick at full boost. Definitely picked up some tq between 3500 - 4000 rpm but spool up was the same as stock.

 

Something i would like to know as well, damn Todd !! you have my similar set up, i should be ordering this week my UICP w/1g BOV -crushed- and MAF intake pipe along with the AMS LICP to see what results i can accomplish.
Im suprise you didnt buy the BR FMIC (since it comes with a lower ICP )

 

goku - i ordered my uicp w/ 1g a few weeks ago. the wait is killing me.
im holding off on the front mount (i think im gonna get the standard buschur one) until after i get the safc, injectors, and fuel pump. but thats my next plan. (well, at least after the zeitonix im ordering with the group buy happens)

is absinthe the only one that got a red x?

 

out of the 2 pics you posted, the first one has a red "x"

 

I see a red box too, however I prefer a pink box.

 

 

hope it works now

 

There is side by side comparison. I dont have any dyno charts for you just yet but I will see if martin ever saved them.
