You only list a header for 2.5,

Are you planning on making a 2.7 / 3.2?

Also, are you offering any better price to forum members?

Hi,

Call me cynical, but this sounds suspiciously like a new twist to getting free advertising without paying sponsorship fees. Maybe not, but we'll see...

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99

Hi MNBoster,

I like Che's approach! And, the beneficiary couldn't have been a nicer Forum member! Good for you, Randall!

In return, Che will get a well written report from a very active & articulate member.

Looks like a win-win to me!

Hi,

In my past career running several hotel companies, I Beta-Tested numerous products and equipment for the likes of EcoLab, Sealey, Manotowac, Otis, Bell Labs, 3M Co., and FORD.

Not once was my company charged any kind of fee (deposit or otherwise), in fact, the manufacturer paid us!

And what? There aren't any Boxsters in this guy's neighborhood? He can't contact the Service Manager at a Porsche Dealership and offer to Beta-Test on some willing customer's car? (or did he already try that?)

Again, I may be cynical, but it sounds more like a sale than anything else. And, what disclaimer is made to actual or consequential damage(s) to Randall's car, today, tomorrow, next year? Who will be driving it? Will this jeopardize Ins.? What with the deposit and the like, it seems Randall is taking all the risk. It's the fabricator who should be leaving Randall with a deposit, not the other way around. It smells suspiciously like Sale #1 to me. I mean why $1,000? This cannot be the total fabrication cost because if it is, the products dead before it gets started because it'll have to retail for $1,600+ to be profitable and the aftermarket for Boxster exhausts simply isn't that big. Actual cost is probably closer to $300-$350 so why the $600 upcharge? Is Randall paying for the Dyno work as well?

This guy's eBay rep isn't the best I've seen, and from his past sales, he seems to be a metal fabricator who produces any number of widgets and gadgets for everything from Civics to Jeeps. How that makes him an Intake/Exhaust expert (especially for a Porsche) is beyond me. He is a recent member with only 4 posts and three of them as replies. Much of the automotive aftermarket is akin to a support group for charlatans, not that I'm making any accusations, I'm not, but time will tell.

Randall's a Big Boy and can make his own decisions. But, let's all refrain from singing this guy's praises just yet...

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
