Over the past two months he didn't even return my emails! I have heard nothing from them since! DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH STRAIGHTLINESPECIALTIES.COM!!!!!!!!!!!"

      Something I found on dsmreviews.com

      i know that kid, he is from the twin cities. i wanted me to talk to you guys about that, but it just kinda spaced my mind. i have his email if you want to email him?

        Ok, here's my take on it:

        Nick's not going to just take somebody's money and run with it. Bad business, and it doesn't happen. Here's one kid who's disgruntled, if nobody knew about it over at SLS and he claimed he called a bunch of times, somethings fishy there...

          Site looks really good, things definetly are moving in the right direction for ya guys. Not to start anything, but whats equal about this. I know length doesnt matter as much in turbo cars, but there looks like a couple inchs difference. Looks awsome anyways, welding looks really good.

            It's not equal length to the exact inch. Im just using it for a pic right now. I got another design. Although a lot of equal length designs technically aren't equal. The most known would be the ramhorn style which is advertised as an equal length but runners 2 and 3 would definatly be shorter.

              Reasoning why i dont have pricing and details up yet. These manifolds are not the final product, they are mock up for design/fitment factor. Only ones that will stay the same is the standard log and the little shorty log.

                I was just curious, can't wait to see a final mockup. Lord knows I will be needing another manifold after awhile. Maybe an SLS? 🙂

                    I have had a good experience with SLS. They have answered all my e-mails and every time I come in they are willing to listen to my dreaming (lol) and offer advice.

                            Oh, I dunno? Stock Evo manifolds need to be replaced if your going to use a different turbo setup then the twin scroll 16g that comes with it

                            edit: looked at his mods again, he's got a DNP header, but i'm assuming its flanged for the stock turbo

                                      I agree, it is good to see the two shops co-existing w/ one another rather than constantly trying to get an edge ahead on the other shop. Like it or not they are the two "major" players in fargo when it comes to performance shops and it seems like even though they are competing for some of the same customers it would make sense that eventually one of them is going to need to send one of their customers to the other shop to have work done. For example, I could see SLS send tint & autostart customers to TM and I could see TM send people looking for custom fabbed headers, etc... to SLS.

                                      I'm not trying to drive down the competitiveness between the two shops w/ statements like that, I'm glad they compete w/ each other. I'm glad they have a little rivalry. And I'm glad they seem to have found common ground to coexist w/ each other.....now if they could just co-exist enough to co-host shows w/ each other.
