i, personally, do not care if he whittled it out of pine bark (which i have the pics to support that theory too)...it works and he has #'s to back it up.

me either, but i do have a problem with people pawning things off as custom if they entirely arent. Im trying to help the protege guys who dont want to spend 550 dollars on something they "may" be able to get fro much much cheaper.

If you want to help then go buy yourself a 626 mani, do your work to it, dyno it and then report back. Until then shut the hell up.

Joke,
I don't know why you want to continue to flame, drop it. Go put a 626 on your car then and have fun getting it to work/not pop your motor.

Then let those people figure it out for themselves... if just one thing... just ONE thing is touched on this manifold ********** can call it custom even if it WAS a bone stock manifold..

Why the hell do you think people pay 50 bucks for a manual boost controller or even over 100 for the Hallman's when they can build basically the same damn thing themselves for anywhere from 10-20 bucks at Home Depot? Because they want a product and the knoweldge backed by someone else... the gains were shown in the dyno.... the manifold does something... what it is.. where it comes from is up to the vendor. The vendor is providing a solution to the community that yields a certain amount of gain and it is shown to do so. It is "bolt-on" by their saying and it will work... past that what it is or where it is doesn't matter. If it's a 626 mani then let someone go find their own 626 mani and put it on their cars... do it for whatever cost they want and go on their merry little way... but for those that just want to buy a manifold.. Street Unit is providing a manifold with dynos... what it is or where it is doesn't matter one bit...

And as I said.. if it has one single change to it.. even if it is changing a bolt hole, or sanding a flange... it is in the legal sense of the term "custom" and he can call it whatever he wants... he's importing it, he's buying it.. it's HIS manifold and he can sell it for whatever he wants... if you are so sure it is a 626 mani go buy one, dyno prove it... and sell it at whatever markup makes you happy... But stop ******* with the man's business... all of us vendors bust our asses to make you guys happy and to bring stuff to you whether it is custom, or just something we have the knoweldge to bring to you guys that the average joe doesn't... but that's business..
 
point taken. Now if cullen could have put this across we wouldnt have gone through all this.

nicely put turfburn ... i just have yet to see the argument about this. why does this community always give the vendors s*** about every ****** thing ... people then wonder why this car has such a small aftermarket
 
Turfburn-I think almost everyone has been saying the same thing in one way or the other, but some people just refuse to listen.
 
ive not yet delt with ********** and i might never, but on behalf of ********** and all other vendors who get flamed by random haters on this bored ide just like to say EAT MY ASS. as im sure thats what all vendors are thinking they are representing a company and cannot come off like that.



note i do not represent any vendors or companys on this forum... all comments and such are a representation of my own personal thoughts. thank you have a nice day
 
so if some no name vendor came in and tried to sell this manifold, you are telling me there wouldnt be speculation?

-Bryan
 
Patrick, you are upset with me lol?


This pretty much sums up how I feel:


if it is an easy something to change like a bolt hole or something, there is no way in hell i am going to pay 550+ for it. Same goes for my fellow protege members. I dont want them to have to pay a s*** load for something they can easily do.

And as i have said before, if cullen REALLY wanted to support the community, and had a spine, instead of wanting to profit from us, his loyal companions, he would spill the beans and then develop something that was really custom, like a sheet metal manifold or something.

i dont see why im being flamed.
