good luck, and try being a bit more proactive.
gee, i wish i didn't have to hire and pay a sales force to GO OUT AND SELL.

foff! I simply threw it in there to see if I could get some quotes from the vendors posting as their websites do not show options that they posted here. I'm not sure how many more options there are to a turbo manifold with 3" outlets to the downpipes.

Any vendors want to PM please do so with best deal shipped. I'm a serious buyer.

that's why 350z mods are WAY more spendy than any other vehical's mod. all the people on this board are vendor worshipers. i appreciate a good tune but wtf everybody on this forum is constantly praising vendors, now i'm being told to call them instead of asking them to give me a quote. better let a mod know we need to shut down the wanted section of the classifieds. have fun bashing my post

Do you realize that a vender can be any shop? Did I ever say one of the venders on the forums? Geeze people are getting lazy.

Lazy? I think it's lazy for the vendor to NOT PM him. He's absolutely right, if you're selling something, you have to go out to make a sale. Obviously the marketplace isn't helping him out because there is no custom turbo manifolds section, and there are no custom turbo manifolds in the engine or exhaust sections. Give him a break, he did nothing wrong.

So you like getting sales calls when your eating dinner? Maybe all the venders should just PM every member about every product or custom job and start buying email lists too. My god you are right, they are not doing a good enough job. I dont think i should buy anything till a vender tells me too.

A custom turbo manifold is not as simple as just giving someone a quote. There are alot of design parameters that need to go into it. things like.......log style or header style? power goals? turbo flange? material alloy? single turbo? twin turbo? front mount turbos? rear mount turbos? internal gates or external? bungs for egts and/or wibeband sensors? how many of those sensors do you need? need to keep A/C and PS? street or track use?

these are just some of the design styles I can think of. I am sure there are others. So, basically, iamdigital need to provide alot more info than just "PM me a quote for turbo headers with a 3" outlet."

That's my point, someone asks for a quote on something, that's a potential deal right there. He'll probably buy those manifolds too, even if they're not the best. They're the first and only

And as for the sales calls? Wtf? Do you actively go out and say "I'M IN NEED OF A FREE iPOD NANO AND I WANT TO SAVE ON MY CABLE BILL! SOMEONE CALL ME NOW!" I doubt it... so how is that anywhere near someone literally asking for a PM on a product?

Floridaboy, please PM me with who that was
