If not, what are we all doing here?


Where do you go for discussion, debate, sharing of personal experiences, public flame spraying of others, and maybe...just maybe....some helpful knowledge about a topic? ONLINE FORUMS! The last one is the stretch though, haha. Never take anything posted on a forum as 100% truth.

I really dont think it is about the money at all. I had the 800 dollar SSV on my G35. If anyone had a G35, you know it had absoutly no gain, some people even lost power. I got it purely because not many people had it and it was beautiful looking in my engine bay.

The only real issue is the outlandish claim of crazy power and superior craftmanship. I never believed the power claims to begin with and now the quality claims seem to be lacking as well. Just seems like they failed to deliver anything they claimed.

Just seems funny that everyone was skeptical from the beginning but no one really spoke out. All it took was one spark for everyone to express their real thoughts. I hope they still continue to produce their carbon products but should leave the perfomance catagory to the professionals. Would you buy an exhaust system made by JL Audio?

I actually remember a Florida based rim company that stepped up on the scene out of no where. They also had no real experience to back up the claims. Also claimed superior quality on par with HRE, DPE, Asanti ect. Then out of no where customers started to find flaws in their rims (cracks and stuff). With tons of marketing and claims, they got everyone to believe in the hype. I wonder what every happened to that company?

I was skeptical at first, especially when they released the price and made it limited edition, but I wanted to wait until someone actually buys and puts the product in their car. Then video/pic reviews it. Like I said before, I go on this forum for my personal R&D, at the expense of others. I could care less if I'm not the first to have it amongst us here. Because I know I'll be the first one to have them here in Guam.

No one really liked you to begin with so I didnt really count your posts. Everyone just kinda ignored them anyway.
