I have the CBRD frontmount and it's perfect in every way. Just got retuned yesterday and once again everyone there is pure class!

I'm familiar with the AMS and was thinking about leaning that way... Not familiar with the CBRD though...

Both products are great, but I have personal experience with CBRD and that's where I would go. Great quality and great guys.

Can't go wrong with either, but I will say CBRD's products are top notch. I have the CBRD FMIC on my 9, and the fitment is perfect.

As everyone else has said, they're both great. Each has it's own advantages over the other, but honestly I'd say neither has a true con.

AMS pro: cast end-tanks
CBRD pro: core size

i'd go with AMS

1. cheaper
2. cast end tanks
3. super efficient and anything bigger would just be adding unwanted weight to the front of the car, unless ur going to be make huge amounts of power :P
