Army must of given you a good bonus to get all those AMS parts. Get a good tune and your car should be running great. You will most likely be running rich till you get your tune, so you will have black smoke like a diesel.

The TBE was a simple install but the damn widemouth dp was a pita!! Insure you have a friend to help you hold some of the parts while you work. I didnt have help so I used zip ties as a friend lol.

After the install I used the largest ristrictor plate and boy does the car sound like a race car. I might have to put in the 3rd largest ristrictor plate to quite things down a bit. I dont want to get another ticket

Im pretty sure I am running a little rich but I havent seen the black diesel smoke come out yet even on WOT but then again I cant see the *** end of the car when im driving . However I do smell something a bit different now lol. To my suprise no CEL's or error codes popped up I guess that Vibrant performance 02 sensor spacer is working.

was it a pain because of the weight of the AMS? I got one as well thats why I ask. I plan on using a lift when I do mine. trying to get the inside scoop on doing it before I do it

Always fun doing it yourself. Once it is done, you sit back and look at your work and admire it. I do have a question though. The AMS exhaust, is that the exhaust in the pic you posted. It looks stock. I am an Evo IX dude so im not sure lol.

2 is better than 1... if you need help with the install go to the AMS site and download the install guide. But im pretty sure you dont need it because its all common sense stuff. The DP was a pain because of the tight space.
