We will only deal with people who make their products here. We don't tolerate shops that send products from other manufacturers to other countries for duplication. It's BS and un-American. "Greddy-style" for example. We all know what that means.

We may be at risk of pissing people in the industry off here, but we also believe that the consumer will appreciate the level of honesty that we put into everything we do...and we are sure that we are not the only ones who feel this way. This isn't about money, it's about passion.

If any of you can vouge for specific brands that are honest and real we would seriously consider at least approaching them with the idea. What we will NOT do is allow our product to be de-valued by putting it on a knock-off product.

HKS we trust. What about FI TDX? Others?
I have personally seen, witnessed, and indeed harassed the Owner, Operator, Fabricator, Installer, and all around great guy Tony at Fast Intentions is. His product is 100% made in house in the USA and he is an awesome guy, who has a great shop that makes a beautiful exhaust. And I know I'm not the only satisfied customer here either.

I believe ARK exhausts are also made in the US if I'm not mistaken? They might be open to the idea as well. And theirs is similar in design to the HKS exhaust.
