AIS meth system
I have been looking at adding the AIS meth system to my car but had a few questions.
First, I haven't seen any reviews from anyone who has installed the kit. So any first hand reviews would be appreciated.
Also, with the tank in the trunk, does it cause any fumes or smells in the car? What do you use to fill the tank up with? What would the meth do if you spill a little of it on the carpet?
Didn't see anything about a test button on the kit, does it come with one or can one be added if not?
TIA

WOW, 6 for 6, vote for the ECS kit.
Why is thier kit the best, is it the pump, or the controller???
Quess I will have to look into this kit, anybody know how much the windshield washer fluid tank holds?

I have the AIS kit. It works and I like the rear compartment set up, it's clean. But we did have problems with the fill cap. It was difficult to remove due to alignment problems with the cap and the slots in the tank opening. We fixed it with some light filing of the cap. I am not sure if AIS has addressed this issue or not. From what I understand ESC makes a top notch kit, you can’t go wrong with their products.

Thanks guys! 
OP, they are both good systems with pro's and cons to both really. I dont think you would be unhappy with either. That being said, for whatever reason, lets call it my fault, I just always make more power with the ECS Alky control kit. I honestly do not have a good answer as to why that is, and if I didnt I would say so, but it has been proven to be that way many times over for me, so we stick with what works.

The cap is a pain to remove though some times. I'll write a review some time.

I have it too. No smell whatsoever inside the car, and I appreciate having more Methanol capacity with that tank (1.7gal), better weight distribution from having it and the pump on the back, and also keeping a fully functional windshield washer system.

Stock tank is 1.4 so not much of a difference there IMO, and we offer a secondary washer tank for those interested, and no chance of spilling meth inside the car. Let alone having meth inside the car.
Like I said, both good systems, just pointing out facts Sam.
