| "As most of our clients are aware of we have been servicing, tuning and providing parts for the 1990+ Z's in Canada exclusively since 1992! Alot longer than most. [ http://amszstore.com/main/pages.php?page=aboutus ] Our Manufacturing practices: [ http://amszstore.com/main/pages.php?page=manuf ] Our Media Coverage: [ http://amszstore.com/gallery/index.php?cat=3 ] Active supporters of International Z events - over 20 Grand last year alone! [ http://amszstore.com/gallery/index.php?cat=2 ] Our web-site is slated to go live this weekend so it is surprising that some have accessed it prior???
As for the products I will first and foremost state that our AMS manifolds have gone through 2 different moulds at a cost exceeding 10 G's USD in the last 12 months. They are different from the MS Manifolds in several regards! 1) Bigger runners 2) Better flowing runners - Independently tested on the Superflow 1020 3) Better Pricing - GB price to be annouced soon! 4) They will be in stock unlike others 5) They come with a 1 yr warranty 6) Life-Time Warranty for Cryo-Treated units 7) Full gaskets and fasteners included (including manifold to head gaskets) 8) Manufactured to the strickest International tolerances as with all our products! More info on the manifolds will be released shortly as we did not expect our site to be accessed by some on other forums! As for the concerns for 'copying' I find this most interesting coming from vendors and others who support alot of other products that have originated from other Japanese Tuners/Parts Providers. To name a few: 1) Fuel Rails - Border Racing being the originators and they are improved upon and yet no complaints! 2) Brake Brace - Cusco (Greddy) design for RHD that was simply reversed for LHD - no complaints! 3) Cusco and Tein suspension piece versions available by many - no complaints! 4) Stillen Shifter - renditions available by many (mostly bad copies) - no complaints! 5) Sub-Frame Collars and Bushings from Overseas originators - no complaints! 6) Coil-Over kits made in Korea and re-badged in the USA by Many - no complaints! 7) Various Pulley Kits of the original - no complaints! I can go on and on........ The point of the matter is that there seems to be a concerted effort by some smaller home based vendors to support one another at the perceived expense of legitimate Companies! Herd mentality comes to mind without researching facts! This is what happens in the 'real' manufacturing sector and competitive market place! We experienced this first hand when one of our original products in North America was copied- STB. These are now selling years later on E-bay for $20! For the record we have never directly bashed a vendor or product! Regardless of how similar or exactly the same it may be! Customer Service, Pricing, Longevity in the Market-Place are prevailing traits and Warranties are prevailing traits of a legitimate company. I recommend all vendors visit SEMA and other trade events to not only gain valuable knowledge on emerging markets but to better understand the overall marketplace! In closing, our consumers demand a product due to variables such as lack of supply/high-cost/fitment etc. As a company are obliged to listen to our clients and provide where there is a demand. It is what any company ina competitive global market-place will do. We look forward to continuing our support of the International Z Community regardless of what some may say about us.
