In Reply To	a little blurb about the MS/AMS manifold debacle posted by aliaZ on February 12, 2008 at 11:22 PM
Message	"My good friend, who would like to remain anonymous (we’ll call him Endojima since he used to endo over his handlebars all the time), informed me that a certain company called AMS copied some Z32 300ZX twin turbo exhaust manifolds designed by his good friend Mike Smith of MS Performance."= biased ........ plus i do see a visable difference on the passenger side heat shield bolt on the ams compared to the ms.... quit all this bitching.. the ms's are overpriced and no one's seen flow results for the ams's..... no one knows what the other ones are made out of to bash them. If someone else can make something cheaper... thats business.... now ms needs to drop the price a little and compete. z32 parts are overpriced to begin with.. the more options we have regardless of quality.. thats up to the consumer to decide what to buy... the cheaper things will finally be for this overpriced, shitty resale badass sports car. end rant/ a random noob once said: "I think its great that I can make a civilized post among you greater life forms only to have my breasts ripped off by savage milk craving z people."
