You either buy the Header or not. No need for this BS.... The Header was tested as it was tested. You don't like the testing and/or numbers buy a different one and MOVE ON.

This is the dyno I was speaking of. This just goes to show that the exhaust alone doesn't do much for you, but when combined with a tune and the change of flow of the exhaust, it provides a smoother route for the flow, which in return increases overall hp and tq. Lesson to be learned from all this? Header + Exhaust + Tune + FA20club = win. Oh, and I guess E85 too, but 93 octane tunes kick ass too. |

Sitting here watching street outlaws and reading this stuff. I'm not sure which is better entertainment. I have to say it too. Toni has handled it well. I'm very happy with my fa20club header and tune.

It's like when you see ads for those diet pills that say "lose 20 pounds in a week!", then in small text it says "when used with diet and exercise". I don't want to sound like I'm hopping aboard the fa20club hate train, because I'm not. I'm considering going turbo and the fa20club kit is in the #1 spot. I just always had a gripe with how this particular header was advertised. I think fa20club makes good parts, I just don't think they have good business and advertising practices, and I mean that in the most respectful way. They are a reputable tuning house, but I think they have a lot to learn as a business. Which is a lesson they could take from FT86SpeedFactory and Rev Works, for example. |

I understand the importance of research, but the way the ad was originally worded seemed to imply that with the header alone, you would be getting those numbers, and that seemed dishonest to me. |

So were my comments BS and do I need Ritalin? Well, I mean, if you want this forum to be a love-fest where nobody ever questions a vendor then I guess that's your call because you're the mod. I personally like to stand up for my rights as a customer. If enough people do it then vendors will be incentivized to do their business with transparency and integrity. If we let one vendor misrepresent their products then other vendors will have to start doing it just to compete. And once again, thank you to Toni for hearing my point and fixing things up. |

Just to say I was one who bought the headers in the first batch produced and I knew that to get those gains you had to be on e85 ,tuned, full exhaust and intake to achieve that. It was worded differently but I dont know why were still going on about this....
