If it looks and sounds to good to be true it probably is. Also you get what you pay for!

Also you cant just copy our stencil, you would also have to copy the cast end tank that has our logo stenciled into it.

Once again our cores are made right here in the USA. Its the same company that makes our cores for The EVO and for the 1500hp GT-R's that we build. You are not going to find a better IC core anywhere PERIOD!

With that being said it would not be the first time someone tried to copy our IC overseas. They attempted (poorly I might ad) with our EVO VIII unit back when it used to be a sheet metal end tank fmic. This particular company went so far as to even use OUR product pictures when advertising. It was just another reason we switched to casting our end tanks as combined with superior design and reliability it makes copying our products VERY expensive to do.

Eric, guys at Helix numerous times called out all manufacturers of n54 fmic to test against theirs, they said they will outflow, and have much better iat's and pressure drop than ANY of the fmic, they always compared AMS fmic to helix on their pics also, since you're stating your core is the best, would you be up for challenge ? Thanks !

And it doesn't really matter where the product was made, Apple is also made in china, it all depends on the factory, or American hands just do things better ? LOL ! But I want Eric to convince me his fmic is better than competition since I'm in the market for a fmic at the moment

Have no doubt: AMS is a great unit! It was second on my list and I am sure it performs excellent. I chose HPF just because they are slightly bigger and clip to the OEM connectors.

C Clip connector is the only reason I don't want to go HPF route
