prove it. you know nothing about economics man. you can go and pay extra for something that can do the same thing for less, its a free world. Companies need customers like you. And by being made overseas there are more people welding them for less money. Just like Nike shoes.

You probably buy BP gas for more than everyone else buys thier gas for. But I aint mad at ya.

I suppose the 'more expensive is better' argument is what makes people sell their children to buy the JDM stuff.

Paging Top Secret!

sometimes I wanted to sell my children just get them out of my pocket and so I wouldnt have toput up with them. But I guess Im stuck with them. LOL. Gotta love the little buggers.

No kids yet for me. But sometimes I feel the same way with my wife and dog. My Z never barks or talks back.

Please Keep it on topic.
Thank You.

My, my, I leave you people alone for a weekend and return to find we're selling children and cracking BP jokes. Animals. Heathens. I love it...but for the sake of my thread, let me see if I can right the ship.

Yeah, the ERZ might lack some of the top end finishing of the other makers, but I really don't care (within reason) what the product looks like. It's never going to see the light of day, so the visual inspection isn't that big to me so long as the product performs.

I want these HFCs to:
1) Boost performance - everyone's butt dyno seems to say yes to this, but I'd love to see some hard numbers. kielbasa16 claims to be working on some, so I suppose I'll get them before I order as they're on back order for four weeks.
2) Sound great. Several members have raved about the sound and subsequent Youtube videos back that up.
3) Not be a pain in the *** - I haven't seen anything to make me think these show a higher fail rate than any other product. Aside from the minor early issue ERZ had early on, there haven't been any reports of rampant CELs or product issues.

I did see something that I suppose I should ask about - warranty issues. Am I just kicking my warranty to the curb with this?

Sorry for the delay man, busy busy over here, you can expect some numbers not this weekend, but the next. Keep in mind though that I am doing a simultaneous install with the FI 18" cat-back.

Edit: ^that quote came out horribly wrong haha

Well no **** about the fail rate, it has not even been a year. Thats like saying im going to buy a ford cause its cheaper then a nissan but the nissan will last 30k longer. Everything lasts when it should, its the point of getting more miles off quality products.

No worries. There's several weeks time before they even get them in stock and I know you'll get to it when you can.

That's correct, but at this point there is nothing to say that the ERZ won't last as long as the others. Users have several thousand miles on these parts already and are not reporting failures at a rate worth mentioning. I have no doubt a poor vendor would be outted in record time around here.

They have to cut corners somewhere, personally for something that if it breaks Im going to be super pissed and without a car, I would go for the better quality.
