when I went out to lunch. First time I checked since GIAC-X was installed 2 weeks ago on my 02' 6spd. I just let the hesitation and studdering slide since this is pretty common with a lot of folks here.

Back to the TBB and Bi-pipe. The TBB was slightly removed from the flush bi-pipe housing. I loosened the clamps and pushed it in without too much difficulty. Need to check bottom of TBB y's on each side to make sure they're sitting flush.
TBB is mushy feeling in this hot weather.

Did a test drive and couldn't really tell if there was a difference. Maybe when I go home I'll give it a good throttle run to see if I hear or don't hear anything out of the ordinary.

AMS sounds the way to go after my 10k service. Have 2k left to go. Maybe in june the dealer will fix my 17965 charge pressure positive deviation DTC which is intermittent.

... it was a pleasure to do so.

The clamps are first rate as well. Its cost effective in my book and it looks bone stock (minus the green screws on the clamps ofcourse).

doesn't the bi-pipe take the place of the TBB?!?

The only problem I had was the right side not being flush inside the TBB with the AMS one.

whats AMS tbb??

NoFHoes

I am not speaking of APR...just stock.

It's the kevlar coated tbb by AMS (Abt US).

NoFHoes

reinforced with kevlar I presume using a stock TBB (i think?) or...better tbb and same airflow.

That would just be the "throttle body" then, not the bi-pipe.
