wtf you talkin' about?! i'm in no way cheering on this product. i like to research to see if they've worked for people and the results they've afterwards. anything wrong with that?
...sucks when a $400 turbo kit can take on a $5000 setup. it's happened to me.

I'm not defending it. I'm researching it
I don't have biased views. A lot of this it pure hearsay, imo. I like to see what others have done with this product. In the cases that I've came across in person, they were great for the people that used it. Like I said, I haven't seen anybody run their turbos first-hand, but their other stuff that people I know are using is still holding up to abuse and yielding good results till this day... which makes me wonder about these products sometimes
they sell shiit loads of stuff. they make their profits through selling volume. i'm sure the percentage of bad product they put out is a mere %2 of their total. you gotta remember though, they're selling thousands of downpipes a month. there's gotta be some misses when it comes to their QA which is absolutely normal across every type of company and industry. that said, the amount of reported bad products vs what they sell just may be that "2%". I dunno though, just speculating...

Here are some more valid links, from people that have actually used the products, with varying degrees of success. You'll notice that there aren't any recent posts to the threads. That is most likely due to the fact that the moderators stickied the threads on their respective forums, to save naive noobs from getting suckered into buying this junk. I wish our moderators/admins would follow suit.

That was a ****head statement
I really don't know what to believe. Some have good success with their products (personal friends)... others not so much (from the internet stuff i dig up). they old saying goes... "you know of something good, you tell one friend... you know of something bad, you tell everybody". 100 bad downpipes out of 10000 sold in a year, that's bound to have some internet reporting on. what about the rest of the 9900? this is what I'm basing my judgement on.
This is the reason why I like see how people are fairing with these products... are they really THAT bad? from internet cases vs the volume they sell and with personal experiences, I actually think they might have something good to be honest...
