I'm biased because I really like the Super AGS. The AGS-R has a possible advantage, though, because it brings in cold air from the scoop.

Hey Joe, come and get it! Time to learn to drive your MINI again.

We have to get you out of that Audi.

Hey Steve,
Having some weird problems with the Mini! I am going to come over at lunch. I am definitely not going crazy, Tom heard the squeak this weekend I still think it is the rear passenger side. Oh I need coolant!!!!

I know the list keeps going and going and going.

See you soon!!!

Is the Super AGS also an M7 product for the R56? I liked the adjustable blow off ports and was thinking that 1200 degree engine paint would work for the AGS-R.

The AGS-R is an unfinished black gelcoat that needs to be finished to look good. Yes the Super AGS is from M7 and I can show it to you the next time you're here.

Chief, go with the super-AGS! I've heard that it sounds totally bad-azz & definitely helps to isolate the heat along the filter path. Dr.Steve, great job on the short-shifter & header install!!! The FPD sounds & drives fantastic.

I never said anything about your sexual preference I just thought that the antenna would look better with something else on top of it other then a RAINBOW ball.
