If you just spent $18-20,000 on a brand new car, why are you too cheap to buy a quality, name-brand part?

 

^^^^^^^^I totally agree!^^^^^^^^^^^

 

Anyone have any feedback on the FX1 intake from
www.ssuperstore.com

 

Because its a rip-off for what you are getting. Sorry but it doesnt cost 300 dollars to slap a K&N onto a long metal pipe lol.


same with some of these axle-back exhausts. What a joke one the prices i mean really. My exhaust will be done next week and will cost $150 total with it runnin as a straight pipe from the first cat with all mandrel bent new piping and a name brand muffler that was purchased separately. Ill post sounds after its done so u can see why these parts are overpriced and not worth it.

 

So obviously you don't have a problem with your car sounding like rice crap? Since you're getting an exhaust system installed and you say that most systems sound like crap anyway. You're just getting CHEAP rice crap.... I get it.

 

u missed the point entirely i see. If i sell something thats crap but charge 500 dollars, it doenst mean its automatically good. And the coffee can rice crap is not for me. A good performing muffler with piping done at a auto shop is gonna end up better then any crappy catback coffee can that people seem to buy. I dont understand how my system would be of less quality. Just cause i know how to get it done for much less does not mean its less quality.

might wanna learn tht now.

 

No, it doesn't cost $300 to make a CAI. The extra cost comes from some markups (the retailer has to make some money too), research and development of the intake, shipping, labor costs, and a slew of other costs. If you are so concerned about getting a cheap intake, go to Home Depot and get some 6inch dryer hose and "fabricate" your own CAI. That shouldn't cost over $10 and should perform as well as any eBay intake.

Group Hug!

 

Actually most of the "coffee can rice crap" I see out there are people that are going the same route as you. They buy a Fast and the Furious muffler and bring it to Bob's Muffler so he can weld it on. On the other hand there are plenty of people on this forum who spent a little more money and bought a complete system that was dyno/track tested and still sounds good. But to each their own. If you want, post the sound clips when you get your system put on and prove us wrong.
