VIDEO: Ben AMS prepared EVO at Road America

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q1ihusy7lbQ


A few passes recorded and edited by my good friend Ryan Gates www.gates311.com

This was my first weekend running in TT group with NASA. Placed second (behind the blue corvette you see me catching in the video) with a best lap time of 2:32.

Thanks AMS for all your great parts and continued support. I love the exhaust, sounds unreal!
Thank you ROBI for the suspension and ACT for the clutch.

P.S in the last section of the video I was off the gas letting the brakes cool.

BEN

JUST guessing, but probably hit about 150-155 on the front straight. The straight you see in this video is between corners 4-5. Probably hitting 115-125 in this video.

Whats the main difference between your custom made one and the single muffler one AMS already offers?

Ben wanted a VERY lightweight system so we just got rid of the muffler. We made him an axle back pipe that bolts to our catback without a muffler and although loud for street car...its nice on a tract car.
