What do you think of my mods?

I finally decided to go head and start modding my car, and so far this is what I have in mind.

Buschur Racing Evo X 3" SS Dual Catback Exhaust w/ Quiet Muffler
Buschur Racing Shifter Bushings
Cobb Tuning Double Adjustable Short Shifter
AMS EVO X Front Mount Intercooler Kit
AMS Upper Intercooler Pipe / Hot Pipe

I already have the buschur racing intake. I plan on getting some mods on before getting a tune.
What would you guys recemond?
Any advice would be appreciated.

Thank you.

Kinda of strange you're going with 2 different shops for parts. Why not just stick with Buschur for everything? or vice versa?

I really don't need the buschur IC because I'm not looking to make more then 400 whp.
Plus I could get the AMS IC for 625 shipped compared to 750 for the buschur IC. I also do not want to modify anything to make the IC fit, which you have to if you go with BR ic.
Here are the stats for both IC's
Buschur-12"H x 4 1/2" W x 18"L
AMS-12.4"H, 3.625"W and 20" L

I think AMS ic will be enough for my goal.

What will you use as your tuning solution?

ETS offers good deals on their products as well.

I see a lot of builds using both parts... ive seen many ams built motors with buschur turbo's and vis versa....

As long as he is not buying Ebay parts, let the man do what he wants. As we all know, the whole AMS/Buschur thing has been beaten to death!

Both great shops, both great products

Why does it matter what parts he's going with? The one is an exhaust. Not everyone wants the single or the dual that requires 8 different tunes to utilize the different plates that AMS is coming out with.

That sounds like a pretty good list. AMS makes some underhood bushings to go with the shifter base bushings (I know you were going with buschur but they only have the base bushings).

I'm representing a little bit of both AMS and Buschur too. They're both great at what they do, I'm not playing favorites.

Good luck with the modding.

It doesn't matter if he chooses to have a bit of BR and a bit of AMS. Alot of people do that too. Pesonally I like AMS products more so I'd go all AMS but to each their own.

Not entirely sure if you intend on modding performance only or exterior as well so it would be difficult to give you additional suggestions. If performance only, you could consider a coilover or also get the AMS lower intercooler pipe while you're at it.

Enjoy !!
