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.

wow really well said...especially coming from a competitor more or less...personally i think what you just said is what the scene needs(attitudewise)...i dunno if anyone else agrees with me or not but oh well

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

ok

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.

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.

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.

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...

i think your just mad because your car is slow and i read the link that chuck put up about this complant and it did't look anything close to what you have written. I've know people that have done business with SLS and they have been happy with what they got done. And when i get a car worth modding i would galdly do business with Kevin and Nick. my .02
