Nightmare with the inlets. VRSF blamed it on the installer. Lol.
VERY poor fitment.
Brackets for relocating coolant tank didn't fit. Quality wasn't hot on those.
Hoses weren't cut to proper lengths.
Wiring for coolant tank didn't work.

Had multiple coolant leaks due to larger diameter hoses than needed.

I ended up making my own wiring harness and replacing the lower coolant tank hose. And I had to buy PR brackets to make the tank fit.

Btw. They didn't have any materials or suggestions to relocate the vacuum canisters. Mine are still tucked under the inlets lol. Still haven't had time to relocate those. And piping compared to MMP is weird. Looked at em side by side and VRSF piping diameter was much smaller.

7 inch fmic.

Sits too low. Welds aren't the best.

If I was to do it all over again. These are the mods I would change to.

AMS FMIC OR ETS 7 inch
PR INLETS. OR MMP SILICONE INLETS.

GATORB8 · 02-03-2016, 07:27 PM

Any recommendations on an indy in the NW Burbs? Closer to Arlington Heights (90/53) the better.

Need one that can use a 3rd party extended warranty. Would really like one that would be down with 3rd party warranty after putting on some go fast parts.

A&L Autobody in Palatine man, best shop around. Talk to Anthony.

EFab is great too but a little further North.

Thanks for sharing. I have their DP's and charge pipe without an issue, but definitely haven't tried the inlets.

Do you have any affiliation with them? I've just never heard of them or any reviews of them before. Location couldn't be any closer to me though! I'm right in Wheaton.

Agh! not what I was hoping to hear... Anyway where in the city are you located? I'm 2 minutes from Oak Brook mall if you're ever in the area, or I could drive to hear this metallic symphony

To confirm yours is steel, not an aluminum flywheel?
