Would be interesting to see Forge vs ETS vs Evolve. Evolve is the only tube & fin design that I know of.
It was completely cleaned during the initial trial fitment of the Forge FMIC.

Well, the Forge edged out the ETS by a small margin. The Forge does cost more, which I can understand from the high quality craftsmanship. Another benefit of the Forge is how easy it is to install. There is no silicone couples and hose clamps to mess with. If you have $1100 to spend and want the best performance you can from a 5" unit, Forge is an excellent choice.

Any comparisons with the Wagner ones that you sell as well?

No, we did not test the Wagner against ETS or Forge.
