This is straight off their site.

+1 for AMS -- I'm getting that one in the near future... very good construction...

However I have been eyeballing the new ATP that has the ability for an external Wastegate to be added or removed easily.

In addition to the AMS piece, HKS just released their version. Very nice cast piece.

Wow, until a couple of days ago, I had no idea that welded downpipes could crack under extreme heat! All this info will definately be taken into consideration when I choose a downpipe to complete my TBE.
