Message	I expected it to be CNC machine cut, the holes did not line up properly and the size of the bolt holes were irregular to say the least. The flange on the AMS unit is absolutely terrible, but its welded all the way around as oppose to a few spot welds on the SZ dp. I can do a full comparison if you want. I have photos of them both. ___________________________________________________________________________ There was a time where I wasn't sure whether the Z would be the right kinda car for me, that is till I saw this one morning... ...Yup. I drive a Z now.
