    Thanks.. I generally like APR stuff, but have problems nearly every time I buy from them, for instance the downpipe had the o2 hole a good 1/4" off so the o2 sensor wouldn't fit. Had to file it out. Have had two exhaust failures with their stuff, software defects and injector hardware defects and their support has been terrible in all cases. (been buying stuff from them since '02). IEs IC looks a bit rough. Wondering about the Wagner one as it comes from the motherland AFAIK.

    I think the Revo I/C looks well made and especially like that all the brackets are machined and it comes with silicone I/C hoses and high quality clamps. It’s probably the I/C I’ll go with.

    Revo does look well made. Probably will come down to who's got something on sale between Revo, Wagner, APR and possibly IE (which looks a bit rougher made).

    I’d stay away from the Wagner, it’s a tube and fin I/C and also requires some trimming for fit.
