The AMS twin tip turbo back exhaust does use the matching polished exhaust tips. However, it might look stock but it sure hell doesnt sound stock or perform like the stock exhaust.

16hrs is alot of time to get those parts on. But you did gain experience from doing it yourself and also saved a butt load of cash.

Wait I'm sorry if this was already mentioned... but you're missing a $20-30 piece of mesh (aka the MR fog light mesh) in your driver's side fog light housing... is that on order or something?

heh I decided not to go with it, didnt think i really needed it. All I did was take out that plastic housing where that ams mesh goes.

You do not need it. Just looks ghetto as it is now lol... isn't it like $26?

I have the JDM fog delete so I didn't need to buy that mesh piece since I replaced both sides entirely.

If you're fine with it looking uneven from one side to the other then by all means go for it. Just some constructive criticism I'm throwing your way and recommending you "splurge" on the mesh piece is all

If what you have listed is all your parts I dont see you making 400whp on a safe and daily drivable tune but if you do that would be great numbes. I have all the same parts you do except the AMS exhaust I have the Greddy SE. My numbers are in my sig and it was a 75 degree day on a mustang dyno. Not being an a** just dont want you to have your mind set on 400whp and only make like 330-350. Parts look great though. I love AMS.

Yeah I figured that much with just simple bolt ons. I had a feeling when one tuner told me 401 he was jerking me around... These are the same guys that messed up my drive shaft boots on my rsx. But 400ish is my goal for a DD car. Ill have to upgrade my turbo and fuel system in order to get that im pretty sure. But 350 aint bad with just bolt ons.

you will be about 5 minutes from some of the best folks on the east coast. PM me for info.

And with your mods, on our mustang dyno, you will be very close to 370/370 if not more

It's most rewarding when you do the job yourself. Safe to assume the downpipe took the longest.
