Funny how he promotes everything that gets listed as no-good or useless for our cars and trashes everything that has been proven to be superior for our cars 
Exhaust sound is kinda a subjective issue, and sometimes the systems that get sent out don't quite fit. That is what he's usually picky about. Like with the K&N. He never said it didn't perform well, he simply wasn't happy with the level of construction quality. For ten times the price of a stupid STP panel filter, he expects near perfect construction - I can't fault him for that.
Correct...Borla was nowhere to being even the slightest bit close  and Bassani's rusty junk inserts were an eyesore and they rattled.
I don't keep inferior parts.
Bosal is still on my car.

It felt so great, tossing those inferior parts in the dumpster.

Right now, I just want it to look better than stock and sound/run a little better than stock...probably install a B&M shifter, soon...but in a year or so, not exactly sure...hope to modify it into a Lotus Elise...or a S2000, at least.

Anyone personally know this clown? Sounds like a troll to me.
How about we meet up someplace to actually see that you even own a Contour.
Otherwise, go play somewhere else kid.

I guess what I'm really confused about, and what your reply didn't clear up for me, was why YOU would WANT to advertise that YOU believed in Fram's product so much that you would advertise it for Fram, when you had yet to even use it.
[looking around] Because I believed in Fram as much as others believed in the parts that they paid for?

It's like advertising that you're gullible. OK, you're proud of your purchase, fine, but you're trying TOO hard. Like covering your daily driver with race parts stickers to impress people.
No race stickers on my car, or under the hood...can't be said of many others that post at this NG, with bigger sigs than mine and hyperlinks...guess they're just trying TOO hard, as you say.

I'm not crunching you for your passion per se or your particularity about your car, but more for your over-eagerness that seems to contradict your rationality and thus undermines the credibility of your endorsement. You've set yourself up to look foolish. I don't know you, so I'm confused why you'd do THAT.
Pops, how many times have you used the word *confused* today? I can't seem to keep up with the actual amount. 
Originally posted by PDXSVT:
First the ad in your sig, and now to do a separate posting, dedicated exclusively to further announcing that you had fully bought Fram's advertising, for those of us that had not been paying attention otherwise? I hope you're happy with your purchase and that it works well, but good luck with dealing with advertising claims in the future.
If they're as bad as K&N's filter, it'll get tossed in the exact same fashion; no regrets

I don't let it bother me, at all...but it seems to have rubbed you the wrong way...why?
You were mislead by advertising claims, at one point, and haven't quite gotten over it?
Let me guess...Viagra and Hair Plugs?

Now do you follow me better? I didn't want to have to make it so obvious. But then again, I guess it was obviousness you wanted doing your posting in the first place.
Do you feel better? Less confused than you were at the beginning of this thread?
