Default If your on the fence about APS....

APS kit on an '05 GTO. Amazing instructions, fit and finish perfect, so far no fitment issues whatsoever. And we don't anticipate any as the install wraps up, Amazing.

Wraped manifolds, assembled snails and mid pipes.


Return oil pump assembly.


Oil block.


Manifolds, turbos, mid pipes, oil and water lines.

No real hurry, probably a couple of weeks. Ordering intake, elbow, valve covers, coil relocate and MSD coils this week. Get that stuff fitted then off to powdercoat, final assembly and tune.

If APS install instructions are followed they send all wire clamps and show where to put them. It makes a clean install stupid easy.

Slowhawk, POS as in not worth the coin or fail? We have installed a few sets and although probably gains for the money are between nothing and zero none have failed and the customers have been happy. I would love to hear your take. TODD
