I'm not sure what you do for the AMS upper pipe, but the Magnus upper pipe is completely different. We developed an upper pipe kit specifically for the Magnus in short route with your choice of 2.5" or 3.0" piping and a wide selection of blow off valve flanges

We personally run the Magnus V5 on our street and drag car. It's a work of art.

Thanks!

Michael

I am betting the AMS F1-i has close to the same angle as the Magnus v5...both require modded UICP's.

As far as I knew with the AMS F-1 it takes forever and a year to get one. Either they are doing it on purpose by limiting their supply or their supplier sucks. Maybe that's changed now, don't know.

I wanted an F-1 and made numerous posts about the release date and got tired of waiting.

We are building another LR2.4/Black combo right now. The only difference from JohnnyTsi/Mikey's will be the AMS F1. Since its going to be a 9:1 motor like Johnny's I am assuming we'll be able to compare directly against that.

Very true. I just received my IC kit from Michael from ETS for my Magnus manifold and everything fits really really well.

We should borrow that intake manifold from you and build a pipe for production

Come and get it or we can work on bringing it up I think I have a Magnus pipe or 3 around here so we can see if there was much change or not.

I would go with AMS F1! AMS makes really good stuff. I think its mostly personal preference.

I've had this Intake since its launch and I have to say that it's craftmanship is quality. On a pretty mediocre tune my car made 512whp, nothing aggressive. We'll see what happens after my new motor goes in and a re-tune is done.
