When both companies have great such products and your an enthusiats who is scrapping together all that you can to reach this next level of FI bliss...seems pretty logical to me.

I'm just interested in Ivoid elaborating on his comment as well.
Price would definitely be a factor in me (and quite a few other people) deciding on an FI choice.
So would...performance, reliability, reputation, aesthetics, and customer service.
Considering the performance data both companies have published...$900 plays a big part in deciding between the two in my opinion.
Hell...i've seen worse...I've read that some people are picking one over the other just based on sound! ha!

Yah and i'd have to argue that if you were going to spend thousands of dollars on a forced induction system with the biggest factor in your decision being sound...that would be a much easier case to make that you shouldn't be going FI...then pricing.

either way you will pay about $7,500 to $10,000. This will include if you ship the car to gtm or stillen. Im working on a local stillen vendor who said they will charge $1,000 for the whole stillen SC kit plus oil/tranny cooler. Its a steal of a deal for me. But i still my go GTM cause oem look. I'm hoping either way i will not wish i had bought the other kit.
i've also asked a dealership here in houston...well clear lake and they actually ordered 3 kits...one to put on their car and 2 to sell...chargin 1200-1500 for labor..they won't know exactly how much until they actually install one on their car

Please see below.
I don't get how you can say "end of story" as if this is fact and the discussion is over and then ask for me to elaborate. I will though.
I (and many others) know you can't say anything bad about GTM on this board or you'll get slammed, edited, banned, harassed, discredited, or more. It's the same with the other forums as well. I have no issues with either company. I have never delt with either company. I do not intend to buy either kit any time soon. What I have done is my research for if I ever am ready. I will continue researching everything I can read and hopefully both units perform great. I've read everything I could on four different forums. It may not be easy to see, but the clues are there that there is more to the stories. If you PM the right guys you can start to fill in holes to some of the stories. Just do your research and try to do your best to add up all the costs.

What is it that you think people will end up spending more for the GTM kit that would negate the $900 price difference, because that's what you are implying. And so far I haven't seen anything that backs that statement up.
This thread is about making an FI decision and as such I hope that information provided in it is valid.
