Ok..Here we go, FI or AAM?

I'll play

AAM kit has less than ideal pipe routing. for instance, look at that 90* turn the boost has to make before entering the intercooler passenger side. Or how close the intake pipe is to touching the the turbo manifold. Or how about those couplers on top of the intercooler. Too many bends and turns. It looks inefficient.

Now go look at FI. Everything has smooth transitions. And both sides passenger and driver...looks equal length and mirror image of each other

Wow, thanks for pointing that put. Amazing input, every bit counts. I think they designed the kit to be truly user friendly on the install and components of the car so EVERYTHING is able to stay in tact that is OEM. The z doesn't have much room in there as is, so I know there has to be some sacrifice made. Think you noticed the major end of it.

You say it 'looks inefficient' based off of your visual inspection of some pictures but I say it 'looks efficient' based off of visual inspection of these pictures.

The beauty of a built motor. Tune my torque curve like a table top and let HP be what it will!

Great numbers bro

You missed the point. You can probably make huge numbers on a kit with square tubing. That doesn't mean it should be built that way. Some people are OK with less than perfect.... Those people don't buy from fast intentions.

What kind of statement is that?

Power is power.

Piping makes a different, but shouldn't be the main factor.

FI, AAM both good kits.

They are both good kits I agree. The thread is asking which would you chose and why. I would have to choose fast intentions because of the attention to details and symmetry. The aam kit isn't quite as nice for my reasons stated above...

It's just my opinion.... Don't let that persuade you. Buy whatever you think will make you the happiest

Exactly this, they are both GREAT kits and I literally was tearing myself back and forth between the two that I needed something to help me push one way or the other. True, real reviews by customers help do just that

said it before, but I freakin love you guys! Can't wait to be posting up pics of her in surgery! Haha

I just put an order in for the FI kit yesterday and talked with Tony over the phone. Can't wait
