Sams bigest concern is having kits go out that have no problems, all 4 of the headers that are from the first design kit have developed a crack and he is going all out to make sure that doesn't happen to future kits.

i was prety upset after waiting for my kit for 4 months, Seth who used to work there kept telling me how bad *** it was going to be and to try and be paitent, he wasn't kidding. i am not sugesting you wait forever for them to release their kit, i am saying turbos kick ***.

Turbos do kick *** for sure. but i just get very irritated when someone tells me something will be out on such and such date over and over and over and over again. it just makes me think they dont have their **** together and thats not the kind of people i want building my stuff. And again i am not picking on CMotorsports. I have Zero problems with them. This is just how i feel about situations like this. I personally talked to Sam and he told me middle of Nov. and well from what you said it doesnt even sound like they have tried at all to get it fixed to be out by mid Nov. Me being a business owner myself, I know that if i did something like this to a customer then Im sure that they would take their car somewhere else and he would talk to all of his friends and they probably would not come over to my shop to get work done. Thats how this business works, its all about doing something that makes a customer happy and them telling friends or people that they raced and beat, and then they come check your shop out and get some work done and the cycle starts over again. But with you out there running 10s and having numerous people on the board wanting it but they cant cuase they wont give the kit the time it needs to be finished. they wont ge their name out there like they could be. I mean how long have you had your kit on your truck? I think that is plenty of time to work out all the kinks if you actually care about getting it done.
And once again I AM NOT BASHING CMOTORSPORTS. This is just my view.

2tone...I feel ya. When I was in Vegas to see about a prospective business venture, I stopped by Combination to see the place. I asked the guy at the desk about the turbo kit for our trucks. He said that he didn't know much about it because it was Seth's project. When I asked for Seth or when he'd be in the guy said he didn't work there anymore. I was like, uhhhh ok. So much for the turbo kit

I emailed Cmotorsports and this is what they said:


"I am sending the new revised header to Jim N. (Parish) this week for him to test along with our test vehicle we will have everything ready to ship by the end of this month. Thank you for your email."

woohoo!!! now.... having worked with Sam(and flp and speed inc and yank and racetronics), everyone seems to underestimate timelines so just keep your expectations down a little if you can. awsume to know that they are working on it.

i have been waiting for the new hot parts so i can set up a bigger down pipe, maybe a seperate wg pipe. can't wait!!

Damn, I thought you were running a 4inch downpipe, 5 inches would be huge. If you get a seperate wg pipe that doesnt dump back into the downpipe it will be LOUD. But that shouldnt matter

i still have the stock 3" down pipe. it works amazingly well but with the 408 i think bigger will help a lot.

i was thinking about a seperate wg pipe with it's own cut out but tied back into the exhaust a ways back. not really sure what will even fit.
