That seems to be the typical shipping time for east coast orders, glad to hear you got yours quickly. We keep the MS units readily available in stock - most times leaving the same they they are ordered, so you get your order right away.

More walk-ins left with some new sets today - looking forward to your feedback once the new DPs are installed.

One of the best performance MODs for $ value and it sounds great with stock exhaust

Care to explain this? I wasn't aware of this and I would like to hear what EAS has to say about it as well...

TIA

the actual inside bore inside the turbo flange side, ar's are made very well so they arent all ground down and tried to make look good, the ms one's i have seen seem to have alot of grind work done to try to clean up messy welds.

for example here is vk inner bore

and here is ar design inside bore

keep in mind the ms arent nearly as bad as the vk bore but they are not perfect like the ar design bore

sorry the set of ms i installed i didnt think to take a picture, but they were grinded down, just not nearly as bad as the vk picture. i still wanna see how ar makes the pipes, i wish i was closer to the shop, its gotta be an interesting and thought out process because there is no grinding

DR_E92 · 12-04-2009, 10:07 AM

Wow that's a great piece of info right there. That really makes a difference

Those pics alone will steer me towards AR DPs without a doubt...Too many good reviews and positive feedback made me go their route.

I'm just waiting for a good excuse -- and the time -- for a road trip to CO. Might have to get a FMIC installed at the same time.

Do it. We can get you hooked up with a nice package deal if you do DP + FMIC - maybe a tune and OCC as well?
