Hmm I'm keen to see how much of a difference a FMIC makes on my car just pondering whether to DIY or go to advan and get it installed and maybe a dyno run afterwards also, then get the AR DP's on along with the AA charge pipe...

Now you're talking, time to separate yourself from all of us 'pretenders' and get some decent power huh! |

My car certainly pulls harder at higher rev's , but i guess i was expecting more down low. Would i do it again , yes , however my expectations on power gains would be more realistic |

I guess its easy to get caught up in the marketing promises of 20-30-40HP increase expecting it to be throughout the rev range instead of 5-7k rpm peak power only |

I had a few PM's questioning why I went with the AMS.
I was considering the ETS as the no trimming thing sounds good, but just looking at this pic the extra few hundred imo was obviously worth it: AMS/ETS/OEM The ETS is a lightweight cost effective option, but the cast end tanks, larger volume core of the AMS is what won me over and it looks damn solid with much nicer welds (I'm unsure if all ETS FMIC have welds this poor but they look like they have been done by an amateur in comparison to the ams) and mounting tabs. |

Any quotes on delivered pricing Shane?
What to see if BMR's ER IC will be an option. Last edited by _ink; 12-11-2012 at 05:54 AM.. |

Bit of a thread dig as I'm looking into intercoolers atm. How does the J pipe work if you also have the 09+ longer charge pipe? Or is it a one of the other type thing?

The J pipe replaces flimsy / restrictive original piping. I have the 09+ longer charge pipe as well as the J pipe (silver pipe shown below). Works a treat! |
