Those with or those who have had the AMS or Samco TBB. How many have experienced failures with
either? I don't see spending over three bills for the APR bi-pipe.
Anyone with opinions on the new and improved OEM TBB?
TIA.

Samco with no probelms here. BUT - huge tip/advice - the stock clamps are too big (they close all
the way before they tighten) Get smaller clamps. Also, the rubber is soft, so any clamps with the little notches in them used for tighening should not be used. Those notches will rip through the boot.

I thought the Samco was the solution...
...until after a few years it stretched out some and wouldn't stay seated. Then I finally got the bipipe and have never had to worry since.

Samco installed for over 30k chipped miles (Stage 2). No issues. You may have problems
putting your engine covers on depending on the clamps you use. I'd get the bipipe if you ever plan to go stage 3 and beyond. ECS used to sell the Samco tbb for $59.95, but I see that the price has gone up within the past two years...
