Your welcome every body.
I don't want to sound negative but I have to alert to everyone doing a single exhaust system that I had some issues with my back seat getting a little burned.
I can't 100% sure it was indeed the exhaust, but having no exterior signs of fire, the only factor that is irradiating such heat under my back passenger seats are the exhaust pipes.
Also I remember I had a couple of big guys seated on the back one day, before found the burns, looks like the floor metal sheet get hoot + some heavy a....ss friends the underneath foam get toasted.
Between the floor metal sheet and the seat foam there is no insulation at all, so you are advised.
I fix the issue having some thermal insulation inside the car. Trunk and back seats also had the back of the exhaust thermal wrapped.
Good luck.
You can find photos of the burns on one post that I open a few days before.
god save the queen!

Nice write up
If you don't mind me asking how much did you get the test pipe for?
i haven't done the downpipe yet, but i don't think you need a O2 sensor spacer for the downpipe.
call AMS if you want to be 100% sure.
or just look for any "AMS downpipe how to" post in the forum, there is a couple.
As far as i know there is not such huge flow restriction in our stock downpipe as the cat and rear mufler create. Aftermarket downpipes has a bigger diameter, less weight and better material (ss). i will get one latter on.
last time i check for the ams downpipe was in backorder.
still the same?

the test pipe back exhaust got it direct from Ams.
Still making cash for the AMS down pipe, for me, the nicer part of the exhaust

Nice man! I ordered the AMS test pipe and o2 sensor spacer last night! can't wait to install it, but might wait until I have the magnaflow cat-back so its more dramatic of a change in power and sound. lol.
