I did call 4 times yesterday starting a 10am no on anwsered the phone, You can not leave them VM cause the thing is full so you have to keep calling back. There is also no way I'm putting that on my car. I'm using the one I bought from Stillen that I was going to return, Which I can not know because they kept my origonal intake, Wht I said I', out $$ anyway. Because I'm not going to be able to return a used intake.

I'm also with Jmac on this, What because I have the Stillen kit(Supposed to sux) I have to use something I feel is not good..

Pics of the MAF housing? From what S&R's pipe? I have it in the pics above? The housings are not stait and do not line up with the cut out in the intake pipe leaving a gap,

Was directed more at Isamu. He has their single turbo kit, which we have seen pictures and the kit looks great. My point was if his Maf housing looked like that he probably would not have accepted it on his kit.

But I have had parts customed before," Air intake for my old EVO 8" Bill at DSG made it for me and I was the only one to ever run it, An it looked 100% better than this, The things that really bug me are the spaces on the inside where the MAF's would sit, the gap where the 2 arms meet and the huge mound of a weld, The interior of the intake should be smooth no? Imperfections will cause turbulence wont they? Plus on the outside the MAF housing are slanted? So the MAF would sit slanted on the pipe , Wont that affect the air readings? Things I want to understand. I know being the first and having this made "Special " for you or your car take time and can be a trial and error , But it just seems this went off from the start. Like I said before I'm sure Bobby is great, But some otheres have to help him out.

This is all part of doing a custom job put the intake on and test it on the dyno.Leave the front bumper off and test between the two intakes that one and the Stillen one.

I am with Coop on this one as well on this one.

I wasted more thant the $170 that you just spent on that one intake on Cog pulleys and belt's trying to figure out the correct combo. Now you have the correct Cog combo and belt combo through trial and error by me. Basically what I am trying to say is things might not work out the first time the way you want them to.

I really hope thing's work out for you but if you didnt think you was going to have a few bumps in the road , then you might want to stop right now and leave the kit as is.

Huh? You guys must be self conscious about the Stillen kit, because no one said anything about brands. These comments are completely irrelevant to the opinions posted.

Judge: Strike them from the record! LOL!

Thanks,

Coop

If I had an option to do this maybe but I honesly dont trust the way it looks, Just comes down to me be comfortable with bolting on the car, And if I was to leave the bumper off and swap things around myself at the dyno I would. But I wasnt planning on do a VS testing from Stillen and S&R.

I was almost planning on hitting bumps in the road, Just not with workmanship, Parts being delayed, Not in stock, Waiting for things to get fixed, YES of course.. But I have been in this for over what weeks without the car, So I have spent the 6+ weeks of the summer in a loaner car. Did not think it was going to be smooth, But at the sametime not this screwy.

Believe I understand frustration things happen ,you never know what kind of bumps in the road you might hit in a build. I know what it feel's like Im still not at 100% with mine build yet.

I paid nothing for this,(Becsue of the first mix up). This was something I was thinking about last night also. I wonder "IF" I have paid the $194( Started at $394) I was orginally told I had to pay. Guys would still say it looks good and run it. Just food for thought, I'm still look at that piece as it cost me the $194??? IDK.

Picking up the car Wens I hope? It should be buttoned up today or tomorrow and is getting a full detail, Was dusty as heck from sitting, LOL . Then I have to see if or when I can get out and pick it up..
