Yeah, not cheap but neither is $1K USD for the AMS manifolds. Both are options and both will supply gains in relation to money spent.

Kev,
I definitely hope my comment didn't come across as a dig (it wasn't at all). You managed to do a lot more than most would ever attempt (especially when across the water).

I agree and that would have been done but the big problem was the AMS manifolds were not the correct ones for my car so the downpipes had to be modified, there for there was no chance of doing a simple manifold swap to get another dyno run test. I detailed it in my AMS thread;

I agree that they work well on a complete free-flowing system but on a factory system with a chambered muffler, there just wasn't much there.

Definitely, I look forward to the new things that you discover that benefit us all.
No, no, no mate! Not at all! I appreciate all the comments from all the members about what has been done, what should still be done and what they would have done differently. That's the beauty about being part of an online community, it's a diverse group with different views.
