I know that the OEM plastic tube at your local Nissan dealer is 99.00,as I posted before, but anyone have an educated guess on what the UTR tube made out of fiberglass w/ a CF overlay would cost to make. In business I think it makes more sense to sell a $hit load of these tubes at $100.00 dollars than to sell a few at the GB price. I know it worked for me and I retired at 38 years old. Just my .2 cents

Its apparent that they;re out to make quality products but no one seems to want to pay for nice stuff.?? There are a lot of crappy cheap subpar quality stuff out there being sold for much less. Perhaps thats what you're looking for your 30g car.??!
Also, from what people say about the tube, the carbon finish is exceptional and tight. Boy does it look sweet installed.!!
Kudos

This is rediculous. This thread is not for discussion of their pricing. Please do not post unless you are interested in participating in the GB!
I am in if the price gets to the $120 mark. Anyone else ?

35ounces,
The threads in these forums are for exactly what I said,TO TALK ABOUT THINGS AND GET OTHER PEOPLES INPUT. IF you want to start a GB do it in the CLASSIFIED section.
ZeeCar,
I never said that UTR didn't make quality products. I'm sure there product is good quality. I was just curious how much to make this tube out of fiberglass/CF overlay.
You guys need to relax. Lifes to short to get your panties in a bunch.

The guy did not make this post to have discussion on his pricing. Be respectful of his post and if your interested contribute, otherwise keep it to yourself. You know what they say about opinions.

What part of the " CLASSIFIED " section for GB do you not understand. There is 3 pages of good discussion about this tube including comments from UTR. The 4th page started out good but then someone tried to start a GB, but they didn't do it in the "CLASSIFIED" section. Threads are for discussions, "CLASSIFIEDS" are for GB.
I can already tell that there will be a reply that says blah blah blah blah blah blah... Where have the oldtimers gone that contributed good information when I first became a member along time ago.

Holy cow! Dude I cant believe you keep going on and on about nothing.
Try and understand this: Its not my GB and not up to me to post it anywhere else. The vendor made that post in response to the pricing discussion. Maybe you ought to read the entire thread.
In any case, they are just trying to gauge interest here. Thats all.
Get over it and get over yourself and the good old days.
UTR: maybe you can you post the GB in the proper section before this guy blows a gasket.

Interested in Group Buy
Agree with 35ounces, this thread should not be a pricing discussion session, I am sure UTR has their rules and guidelines when they set their pricing, I am interested in this groupbuy, thanks.

Considering that I just paid $124 shipped for a CF radiator cooling plate, I think that the CF tube would be a good price at $120 shipped!

Hey bonehead - If you would learn how to read you would see that UTR correctly started a GB back in Sept. on the VEDOR CLASSIFIED. When will these young boys ever learn that knowledge comes with years of experience and not what they've learned on MTV. I'm sure the response back will be something like this.. BLAH BLAH BLAH YO YO BLAH BLAH BLAH DUDE BLAH BLAH BLAH. RELAX young man its all in good fun...

That looks like a great tube and I think that UTR has been more than generous with their offer. Hopefully UTR will notice Adam's post about the clamps and check into it.
Like the people that feel it is their duty to tear apart posted mods by other members, just because they personally don't like them, I always worry that companies will pass on posting their new products in the future because of the "abuse" they may receive. If it's a "crap" product, word will get around soon enough. Same for the price. I believe that we should encourage, rather than discourage, companies from posting their new products on these boards.
And finally, I'm sorry to fan the flames, but I just can't let this go...
Coachk, here are some of your contributions from those "good discussion" pages. If you were not trying to start a "group buy" in this thread then I don't know what you were doing...:
BTW, 35ounces has been on this board for about a half year longer than you and has ~8 times the amount of posts as you. I do agree that he is a bonehead, but aren't all heads made of bone? In addition, I am a Charter Member of this site (aka "old timer") and frankly I don't really remember you. Sorry.
