I am partial to say AMS is better, look at the quality in all of their parts. The manifold on this kit is beautiful, and they have turned out many fast DSM's in the past. They are also close to my house which makes me more biased. I have seen videos of their turbo kit in action and it is unreal

Both kits look very good. I think it is down to your own preferences. The RnR kit is cheaper, but the AMS has thicker walled manifold. Who knows?

A new hose comes with the kit. He uses a mandrel bent pipe to go around it. I will try to find a pic of it completely installed. Those ones above were just the priliminary fitment test.

Here's a pic.

RnR's mani has great clearance and he also uses thick walled material's. I also believe that he warranties his mani's for life.

A few benefits of our kit


Our manifolds are thermal coated 2000f to keep under hood temps down
reduces sensor failures

lifetime warranty on manifolds

GT35R Kit on customers car made full boost at 4200rpm




I believe both kits are very high quality and work very well. Let me know if there are any other questions.
