Fmic: AMS or helix/cobb?

matty088 · 06-08-2013, 09:42 PM

Ready to get an fmic this week. I really like the helix and cobb but there is a great deal on the AMS currently. Is the helix that much better for the price? Anyone that has an AMS how much work is the install? Is there a lot of cutting? you cut the plastic within the bumber right. Not the bumber itself? I don't like how the AMS uses the stock according plastic pipeing. Do they sell a pipe kit for it?

You live in Texas, so IAT suppression is more important to you. I say go with Helix/COBB. AMS will flow better with less pressure drop, but will be slightly less efficient in suppressing IAT's.
