i put the ams on a couple weeks ago, install isn't to hard except reaching the bolts to mount to the chasis on the 2010+ model. noticeable difference, but i would trust ams/ets/buschur, cant go wrong with any of them

ETS is great, although I'm sure the others are as well and personal taste ends up being the deciding factor for many of us.
The 5" is is over kill for me. I think that is what ETS uses on their 9 sec car. I still eventually want to get a bbx lite or maybe the full unless some ball bearing comes out that is amazing!

Perrin stealth inter-cooler FTW ! I'm running one and I had 0 issues what so ever, the quality of the piece was just amazing. I'm also making almost 350 AWHP/AWTQ with full bolt on's minus a down pipe and turbo ! I'm running a lot of Perrin parts as well with 0 issues whats so ever! great people, great products, great service. heres a pic of my car with the Stealth IC installed

Yep, that what they used on their 9 second car. Its honestly overkill for me at the moment also, but I only want to change it once and I plan on upgrades into the 9 sec territory in the future.

AMS all the way. The fitment is as good or better than factory and their parts are just so sexy.

Definitely, I'm really impressed by it. I'm sure if you ask they'll make you one.

I ran all the Perrin boltons on my subie and I loved them as well! Car looks good with the stealth fmic. Thats what I want on my car with black wheels, so we will see what happens.

^^ that would be my choice or the Buschur core,I dont really like how the groupies come and just post XXX brand with no proof of it making improvements on THEIR setup. Anyone can get on here and just post a few letters and name a brand.

My vote is for the AGP in anodized black. I had it shipped to my house for less then the three listed in your original vote. Gained an extra 10whp and 10wtq on my retune and it keeps temps down well. They are: 20x13x3.5 and I wouldn't do it differently.
