Good deal glad to see someone is taking the scammers out of the picture! Keep it up AMS! Now if every company would do the same thing so that we all know that we are getting legit parts all the time.....

I actually just put my AMS LICP just back on because i got the t-bolt clamp kit. The AMS pipe is better quality than that one.

yea, but there isn't a major noticable difference in a custome made LICPandUICP if made correctly. Both will dyno on par with a Aftermarket company made one. Really, its just about saving money.

Really it is about supporting a shop that actually made the part versus someone who just cares about making money.

No, its not a better quality. They are both made out of 100% aluminum and direct copies.

the last ams copy licp actually looked like the ams piece and was steel.

this looks like something from a guy's livingroom and it appears he's mistaken about the origin of the pipe

note it is the fighter's garage piece.

The current AMS LIPK looks like this....



You will notice that we have improved our old design by adding a support bracket to keep the IC pipe in place.

Thats awesome that you guys at AMS are making sure the consumers are not getting ripped off.A lot of the places that sell the knockoff products are in the Monteray Park area or 626 area code in Socal.I get disgusted when I see someone on ebay trying to pass their product off as the real thing.Keep up the good work!
