I have a Cadillac ATS 2.0T now and an excellent fabricator built me a catch can and intake setup that has beautiful welds and excellent powdercoat and it was only $250 for everything. The hoses came pre-installed, clamps and couplers were on the pipes. It was awesome, like 10 minutes to install. |

Was contemplating the FA20Crap header and then turbo kit next year....so glad I went P&L, even though their kit is much pricier...you get what you pay for.

I just wouldn't take anymore chances and I definitely don't think they deserve your money. If the items are not as described/fraudulent activities, I don't see why this would be an issue for paypal or credit card company to rectify the situation. |

vendors that are named after a new platform, or specialize in a new platform only are a huge red flag.
they clearly have no past to look back on and are simply trying to quickly capitalize on new market money. |

He should have just stuck to tuning but the money starts coming in and things change. I was a huge supporter of Toni at first after trouble with Visconti but he just got too many irons in the fire.

This is why I stick with companies that have a rep across many platforms. Great fabricators are asked to make parts for more than one platform.

I just gave up and left it on a shelf in my garage. It does cost more, but is also more "complete." I'm targeting the end of feb for an install.

This man knows whats up. I tried to convince people that LJ @FullBlown sells a better kit for a similar price.

Message from the dark side, showed up in my notifications:
11:39 PM - King Tut quoted Ralph Spoilsport in post FA20Club Up Pipe He made fun of a vendor. That is n... What could it mean...? Hit me up at nasioc (@maxplanck over there) and I'll pass it along. I'd like to be wrong on this one and find out it was just some fat finger mistake or misunderstanding. |
