no, open test pipes is not a fun thing. i thought it would have been when i went to the ocean so i unbolted my exhaust for the night and then my tranny broke and i lost 5th and 6th gear, and then my friends left early ( some friends) and i couldnt bolt back up my exhaust so i drove 3 hours home with a droning exhaustless car. worst ride of my life.

loud as ****... raspy... but and i do say but it sounds like american muscle...

u guys should try it for a week and see...

okay...
i didnt know vendors were to insult forum member's cars and ideologies relating to cars...
imo being a sponsor of the website and a vendor you should promote the car and the aftermarket instead of criticizing members' ideologies......
a correct comment could be :

"hey, we have ____ exhaust on sale this week, instead of doing what you just did, why dont you give this a shot, if you come over we can set it up and get you a great deal..."


i think ur still not happy because of my comments made about one of ur vehicles that i later recanted and my haggling of header prices(i did that for kicks and to poke it to see if i can actually get the price i want or to see how far down i can negotiate)...
i shoot a low then gradually work to a mid-point where both the seller and the buyer agrees...

but thats the way of basically how my mentality works...

the haggling i gave you was not even close to the **** i put the car sales manager through... imo... if you were to gain my confidence and my sale i'd like to negotiate prices instead of taking a price like a supermarket...

I'd still like to be your customer but i think customer are gained through another way other than shooting me with insults instead of helping with positive comments...

im the most hated member?
i cant say im the most hated but im definately among the top contenders... but then would i rather be average and be forgotten or at one of the extremes and be remembered despite the notoriety?
but then im not here to sell anything...
you are
and comments made by people who carry much more responsibilities a la selling products and services carries more weight than a college student spamming the forum...
vendors and sponsors should carry the responsibility to offer positive ideas, selling products and services, providing custom/potential customer care AT ALL TIMES.
...
imo Jason@Performance nissan is one of the best sales/service people i've ever imagined on a forum... even though I've never bought anything from them, and shot alot of PMs haggling for prices, but I know that I will in the future(i'd drive x-country there to get my Greddy Turbo installed)... he consistently provided helpful facts to improve everyone's knowledge and wellness of everyone's cars...
...
IMO thats how you win customers... and I'd definately take a cross country trip to Duarte, CA in the summer for both californian sun and a turbo set up...
......

A customer is someone who buys things, i.e. actually has money

I could not have said it better myself..
Jvanquish,
You insulted me and my customers cars on more than one occasion...You tried to haggle with me on more than one occasion..Your posts are at the least, 99.9% useless to this forum and its members and vendors..You bring up how I am supposed ot act when some college kit wants to waste my time, them try and make me look bad cause I am not desperate for work, by stating "I guess some shops would rather sit idle then make money"...You dissed one of our show cars that drove 60 miles to sit in your little busted parking lot meet with 10 cars in the middle of November..As I recall you stated you "were not Impressed" with the vehicle.Why?Cause it did not have a 12ft high aluminum APC wing from PEP BOYS and stock wheels SPRAYPAINTED BLACK???
Now you say you would take a trip across country to buy a turbo from Performance Nissan in Duarte, yet by the looks of things, you could not even afford the tolls and gas money..The big differenc between me and Jason is that I spot a troll, and dont let him waste my time any more than he already has..
You my friend, really need to step back and re evaluate or reinvent yourself..I care not what you think, or say..I am a respected member of this forum and have been for over 3 years, and have seen guys like you come and go by the dozens..They think cause they have 5000 posts (99.9% useless) that they have some STREET CREDIT...Yet they are nothing more than tools.
I am sorry if the truth hurts..But sell your poor Z and go bother the HONDA trash along with David Stoner..
Sorry if this post affends anyone, other than JVANQUISH..
