Ken, I have already made items better than that and for cheaper as well. Take a look at KKM's Gen1 LS kit. You get a billet aluminum MAFS adapter, a filter, some bolts, and a hose clamp for close to $100. You can order the billet MAFS adapter off the net (not from ebay either) for $30. You can get a filter for $25-$30 and the rest for a few bucks at the local hardware store. Not worth the price for what you get.
I know I can make something better and I have; matter of fact. The reason why I will not offer anything in this case is because K&N actually is doing it right. Their kits may cost more but they are built from quality pieces and you get what you pay for in a CAI system not just a MAFS adapter and filter.
Ken I do not expect you to understand any of this as you just sell this stuff and are not required to have any real understanding of how to build it or piece something together from scratch. I do suggest that you do a little research on the cost to benefit ratio before carrying a product. It will do your customers some good. KKM's systems are minimal and halfways done; that is the truth anyway you slice it.
I expected a response like this. As for a cost/benefit ratio, I don't hear anyone complaining about the kits other than you.
When you make a statement that the KKM kits are junk then you don't back anything up other than YOUR opinion. Give some concrete data, dyno's and the like. When you come on here and give your opinion that it is junk then you should at least say why. Have you compared the KKM units to the "cheap" systems you are talking about? If so, let's see it.
Also, when someone buys the KKM kit they get the whole item to install it. What you are saying is that someone has to buy an adapter kit, then a filter then a clamp and so on. I'm sure that someone has a cheaper widget A than Bob's widget B down the street. However, calling it a piece of junk doesn't make it better or worse. It is only your opinion stating as such.
If you want to start selling your "performance" items on here...pony up the cash to be a Vendor member and be done with it. If not, then you have no right to tell an LvC member that an item a FULL, PAID and RESPECTED vendor member sells is junk. It seems you are the only one ever complaining about it. I'm sick of reading about it on here.
Have I posted in your Turbo thread stating that is junk? I have the maturity to know when to keep my mouth shut about someone's car or the like. You NEVER see me bash someones car regardless of how ridiculous it may be. That is not very respectable to that member.
My recommendation as an LvC Staff Member and Moderator is that if you can not be mature on this forum maybe you need to go somewhere else. I will not have this discussion with you again.
hydrauliced a motor this way. Broke the crank... no fun...
