RE: [DML] Re: Free flow air intake is a joke

Daniel:

On first reading your post I rolled my eyes and though here we go again.
Flame on. 

Now, lot of the information in your post was helpful - you tried two
different intakes, the first seemed to be out of manufacturing tolerance and
the second had a bad seal. You were not happy with either. OK - fine.  Now
you don't say that John refunded your money, and I can only assume he did
because as angry as you are you would have thrown that in too if it hadn't
happened.

But we all get angry from time to time - just like Daniel clearly is, and we
don't always have the presence of mind to be fair in what we write.

In the end - I'll probably send a nastygram out like this sooner or later
too, but - I hope that the moderator intercepts it and returns it to me,
asking me to add some of the details I've obviously left out and to try to
keep the email helpful and informative - not vindictive.

The only net effect of all this is misinformation.  I respect that you
choose not to do business again with John.  But this forum is for sharing
information and ideas - not flaming.

Maybe we need a separate forum for vendor and product feedback, similar to
what eBay does with feedback.  I'd love a forum where I could search either
a vendor, or a specific product and find out if there are ongoing
differences in services and products from one vendor to another.  Search for
radiator and see who sells ones that make the most people happy.  That would
be a lot of work and I'll be the first to say that I have neither the time
nor the expertise to create it, but I'd sure as heck use it.

Hmmm...

I am new here but John has been an extremely valuable resource in 
learning the quirks about these cars.  I am quite sure that if you 
had contacted him about your concerns off list he would have either 
refunded your money or worked with you until a solution was found. I 
don't know why you would post here for everyone to see rather than 
taking care of the matter privately.

In fact, the first one he sent was 1/2" too tall to be able to close 
the engine cover! He sent a replacement, but it does not fit the air 
intake well enough to prevent debris from entering the engine. It 
stayed on my car for an hour before I removed it.

Does the vendor carry product liabilty insurance? Will they still be 
there if your engine blows, or catches fire as a result of their 
product?
