almost all who bought catbacks and/or turbo backs are pleased

Vortex Generators, almost all fit great

Turbo manifolds all crack after a short amount of usage.

Thats all I remember. Lol



also, I learned that Chinese children make 3 dollars and a biscuit per intercooler they fab
Thanks, I wish someone did this on all the threads. Every 20 pages would be great. lol.

I may be bumping a year's old thread, but it's ok, I want to be able to easily find this later in my subscribed threads.

I have an XS Power FMIC and it seems to work great but it was already on my car so I can't compare how much better or worse than stock it is.

As long as you stick with a reputable brand, the price shouldn't really make a difference as long as they're new

Looks exactly like the old AMS Licp. to be honest it looks just like the stock one too. Dont think there would be much gains in that. *shrugs* Just save another $100 and get the ETS LICP or one of the cheaper ones like injen or Nisei. Sure you can find a used one here for cheap too.

Same story. Bought the car with it on already. Had AMS painting on the front and I was pissed when I noticed XS Power on the bottom when changing the oil.

Only thing I noticed it the fitment with aftermarket LICP was crap. I almost put the stock one back on but I just bought a different hose and it works fine. Still plan on going with a quality IC and ditching this one.

ive bought RC injectors for my old turbo hondas on ebay. But they were from a RC distributor so no garbage. Best bet would be to look at feedback i would say.

I dont feel like reading through 22 pages just to see if some one posted it already... So, Xentec HID kits work very well. I have used a total of 8 kits with absolutely no issues. 3 of those being on my truck for 3+ years.

True but think about this it may crack easy but also cheaper to replace. Like Rotas I prefer them than Volks, If the Rotas in My car bends its cheaper and faster to replace than Volks. I put the good brand into My motor those would be more expensive to replace.

I got it from my GTO forums... they have the street race encounter area, and it always seems like there is a long drawn out story, so the OP will do a cliffs note version as well. Lol

but you are welcome, and it is helpful lol

Picking up my evo tomorrow morning ( ) and thinking about testing out the ssac turbo manifold, my buddy works at a metal shop and the owner said hed give the cat back / down pipes by them he had on his b5 S4 a 8/10 for craftsmanship / welds, i can live with that! exhaust was on his car for over a year, sold it with it on there, no cracks or anything.
