Turboxs is crap compared to the ams. Someone correct me if I'm mistaken, but I want to say it's the same if not very similar to the depo garbage

I had a turbo xs tbe for a while. The quality wasn't terrible and it was probably the cheapest dual exit on the market. I think the only parts that rusted were the bolts and nuts so I'd get stainless next time around. I'm going to go with a AMS wide mouth i think next time around

I've had MAP's on my car for 58k miles/3 years (November 2010) and it's been flawless for me; the coating still looks good even. I've run it with the stock, EF2, and EF2.5 turbos.

If you don't plan to go beyond the stock turbo though I'd just suggest a 3" stock replacement shorty downpipe such as Cobb's. You'll get all the horsepower while only missing out on a little torque gain, but will save yourself a PITA install. Just depends on how far you're wanting to push the stock turbo and if you want to absolutely max it out or not.

Ive had the ets dump o2 downpipe for about 3 months, got annoying as hell and the dump pipes welding broke (Michael fixed it with no questions asked, great service there) but then I went with the map dp with 3d flange (was an option at the time). 0 problems and showed some great gains with the EF2 I had at the time. Still is on the car 65k miles and going (over 40k miles).

For this 14 gsr I'm going with the map dp again because it is just great.

I have had the AMS downpipe installed for the last year (12,000 miles) and would not trade it for anything. The downpipe itself is made of cast stainless steel. Fitment, quality and durability is second to none.

I switched to an ETS o2 dump from an AMS widemouth. I'm extremely happy with the quality and performance gains and highly recommend the ETS piece.
