Thanks for all the reply , i'm planning to upgrade it with a FP green or FP red later








** Customer had some other aftermarket pipe that didn't line up like factory.







I'm pretty sure he removed the crash beam, but the 3.0" and the 3.5" should fit w/o trimming. The 4.0" will require trimming for sure.

I'm fitting your 4" on an Evo 5, power steering hard pipes have been removed, no air con fan. Hopefully it can mount right up against the front of the chassis so the bumper doesn't need much cutting. Looks promising from those photos thou. I'll send you some photos once I get it done.

AMS all day everyday. Nothing against ETS, their products are amazing, I wish I wen't with their piping but as for the fmic, I couldn't possibly be happier with my AMS.


^mind you this isn't straight from AMS, guy used it for a week, then sold it to me. Beautiful fmic.

Mike you do make great products for sure. I will be switching from my thin aluminum ams piping to your high quality stainless in the near future.

Tough call. Both my buddies had identical mods except one had a AMS intercooler and the other a ETS, both on FP reds on E85 and after tunning, cars made the exact same power. I think you would be good to go with either.

My buddy has a 600whp drag evo. Has an ETS FMIC on it. Honestly it all comes down to what brand you like. AMS is way overpriced IMO. But I like their products and they have proven their worth. AMS lower your prices and you'll get more business!!

Both are great but ETS seems to be a bit more active in the forums and their service is top notch.

Your right ams is never here to back up their products anymore. I think they only into the Gt-R forum.
