Why did you go with an AWE one as opposed to something else...any reason?
i only ask becasue i have a lot of AWE stuff on my car and consider this one to have all matching stuff...but then again some of the others that come anodized black, blue etc that Jeff Moss can get are cool too (sorry i forgot which one he sells).

$ for $ I felt (and still feel) that the AWE unit is the best out there
the end tanks are very nicely designed and the welds are awesome. All of the tubing is aluminum and that offers better heat dispersion than steel does as well as standing up to rough winters better.
I've always gotten great service from AWE so I decided to go with their FMIC. If I was to do it again would I go with the Evolution Raceworks (the one jeff sells) FMIC? Probably not, I wanted to still run the stock bumper support and wanted the fitment that the AWE offers.
Compared to the EuroCode unit, I'd go with the AWE as I did not feel that the end tank design was adequate when compared to the AWE. Not to mention that the AWE unit tested 10hp higher than the Ecode unit.
