I have heard the gimmick in person on 2 cars, they both sound like hollow pieces of shit. Not discrediting your suggestion, just my personal opinion. Every AMS product I have installed on customer cars has fit impecibly which is why I chose to go with them.

The AMS has two resonators in it and still flows to my power levels. The gimmick does not have resonators.

You get what you pay for.

I never understood the point of a fuel pressure gauge on the fpr. I mean you tune and drive from inside the car so what good would it do? Monitor idle pressure when the hood is popped? Not being a douche, I'm being serious.

Before you can tune you need to set your FP to the desired pressure and you can't do that from with in the cab.The advantage to the gauge being at the FPR is you can monitor the FP while you adjust it. So you set it and forget it and then tune to the pressure you set. Other than that I usually don't even monitor my fuel pressure so for me there is no real advantage to having it inside the car when I can have another more important gauge in its place. For me I have only ever used it under the hood but everyone is different so there really is no wrong way to do it. :tup:

Ok, thx. Ya that's the only thing I could see it used for. I do have common sense yayyyy:tard:

AMS catback exaust...wow!! Installed!

So the AMS exhaust is installed. Sounds great, took two seconds like an exhaust install should. I have one teeny tiny problem, though - my downpipe from Treadstone angles up slightly at the end so I needed kartboy xtra long exhaust hangers. Once those are in the exhaust will stop wobbling a little under decel around 2k and under and suddenly knocking the the first resonator.

The driveshaft taps on it so slightly. I think it is also time for torque solutions bushings for the driveshaft carrier support bracket.

 

[STi FR3AK]

Man, I just watched a video of this exhaust and it is quiET.

 

[toomes]

I took the car out this morning after warming it up, holy shit this thing sounds amazing. I think I am going to keep it parked until I get the exhaust hangers in for safety. Here are a few pics...oh and I took my wing off..lol.

You can see the bend in the downpipe i have been referencing.

Finished appearance:

LOL can't even freakin' tell!

 

[STi FR3AK]

At first the pics were loading slow and the first pic got to about halfway down your wheel and my thoughts were "HOLY WHEEL GAP!!"...then it finished and saw it on stands lol

 

[IGOTASTi]

You better watch that pottie mouth, lol. Looks good and what does it sound like? Got video?

 

[toomes]
