I’ve watched Marco machine his flanges and weld his manifolds… I think he has the end tanks cnc bent and the polishing is outsourced but thats about it.
can you actually sue someone for that sort of advertisment about producing power levels that dont exist? theres gotta be some owner out there that will most likely try to do something, atleast sumone came out about it
Sue who? Dave for slander/liable or Marco for making the intake?
After reading this thread and his thread, then using some personal experience and common sense, I came up with a few things I would like to say.
First off, Buschur’s thread seemed very retaliatory and almost unsure about certain points. As if it were written in pure anger and disgust about previous/constant tension between the two. It takes a lot for a casual internet reader to pick that up sometimes, but this was apparent. Almost too apparent for me to even make a point of.
Second, I have seen Magnus manifolds perform poorly (quality, durability, and number wise) but on the other hand I also have seen some very impressive manifolds come from them in the same aspects above. This is part of the whole process.
The whole great success always begins with failure thing applies to this in a sense. If I had a nickel for every defective NAPA part I sold in the 10+ years I worked there, I would probably have my own 8 second Evo right now. I can count on one hand how many times someone called me an said “wow, that was the best fuckin brake caliper I put on a car in my life” What it boils down to is the part did what was expected and nothing else. The slander like the Bushur thread unfortunately is what sticks out in peoples minds and stuff like this can ruin a company especially when the person posting has a reputation whether the accusations are true or not. Bitching like that does no good for anyone without documented proof. I am not saying that won’t happen but shut up until we have this proof.
Last, There are some people right here on these forums that know what the fuck they are talking about with this stuff so listen to them. carnut, devious, inntunn, tevenor, and the others that posted with their personal experience. There was some very good knowledge being shown there.
For the record, I still us the stock mani on my car and I am the slowest of the bunch haha. Obviously though, the manifold is not my weak link.
Okay, thats enough from me. Still a little buzzed from the sabres game, sorry bout the long winded post.
Over 100k into a fucking evo?
Wow is just about all I have to say.
