I'm confused.

The same reason for why I threw away my Sho-Shop Y-Pipe, my Bassani Cat-Back, sent the Borla Cat-Back back, tossed noisy tires that still had 50% of their tread left, etc...just wasn't happy with it; the thin foam gasket/padding stuff was installed sloppy, so I just didn't quite trust its poor execution.

"Fram AirHog - on order"
No it doesn't, it means exactly what is written...you're the one that admitted to being confused, but I corrected that for you, I hope.Originally posted by PDXSVT:

No, when I say that I ordered it, I ordered it. Like when ordering anything, it's yours, you just haven't received it yet, even tho' you've already bought and paid for whatever it is.Originally posted by PDXSVT:

I scrapped a near new set of Michelin tires when I got my Contour. Those tires really sucked. So our thinking is typically similar, although I'm not as, um.... enthusiastic about my selectiveness when it comes to some non-critical equipment.

I question whether or not he really even has one...empty profile, no pic's, no location, nothing just a lot of talk and a lot of proven quality parts supposedly thrown in the trash I would believe it only if I saw it in person and he could prove it was his car. Now he could be a spoiled little brat that has more money then brains but if that was the case I'd think he would choose a different car. Or maybe he is somebody that got banned a while back and is just here to stir up things making these ridiculous claims and comments. 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.

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.
Originally posted by PDXSVT:
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.

You've set yourself up to look foolish. I don't know you, so I'm confused why you'd do THAT.
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.

I can handle it fine. It just gets old listening to you constantly brag about throwing away a Borla, a Bassani, a Superchip, a K&N, tires, SHO y-pipe, etc. You don't think a CEGer might have wanted that stuff? Maybe help them out? I guess your just that selfish and spiteful.
I don't ever get tired of your tears...and it's mine to do with what I wish. Some people *cough* even try to sell used battery trays...or a used headlamp, I guess...whatever.
I did try to sell my factory x-haust...but at $400.00+ shipping charges...F-it.Originally posted by MeanGreen2:

Yea so? I know a lot of local CEGers with many different exhausts and their opinions about them. Several with Bassani - happy. 1 with Borla - very happy. 1 had Bosal - trash. 1 has Bosal - regrets it (trash). Their firsthand opinions mean less than your opinion?
Honestly, yes, because I bought all three of those systems, brand new, for me and my car...I don't know that anybody else has bought all three, brand new. I have and I have made my choice: BOSALOriginally posted by MeanGreen2:

you are advertising here, if you've never received it?

Unless I'm wrong, your opinion has always been based on used x-hausts, so I disregard your opinion and keep mine...sorry.
And you're parting out the SVT, I'm keeping the SVT...so of course I'll be keeping my battery hold-down, my radiator cap, my valve stems, my cigarette lighter, my fuses, etc...I need them, but you don't need yours, so we're coming from different directions of thinking.
Like I said...F-it...I'm not paying $400.00 shipping cost on a used x-haust...and it never dawned on me to sell my rejections to others. My feeling is that I rejected them, wouldn't want to make money off of my rejects.

Hello there, Sonny,
You no longer confuse me. It seems my concern over how you were setting yourself up to make a fool of yourself was not necessary. You're doing just fine at it by being yourself.
I'm pleased that you're concerned with my health, but as you should have been able to see from your greataunt's last Christmas card, newsletter and pictures, I have neither a receding hairline nor any need for hairplugs. You must have mixed me up with your cousin Merle on that one.
Meanwhile, about the Viagra, THANK GOD!! I don't have any of that stuff here, or your greataunt would not give me any rest. She's a real horndog. You'd think she would have slowed down after that change of life thing, but now that the kids are gone, I may have to take up golf just to have some quiet time to myself. Really, she's got a lot of nerve expecting more of me after the twice a day thing we've been doing. And that Venus in Leo of hers? Doing it in public, one of these times she'll get us caught with her screaming.
But enough on my love life. Let's talk about yours. How is your right hand doing?
Now you be a good boy and say hello to your mother for me.

I don't know, maybe you have enough money lyin around that you can do idiotic things like that, but it seems you almost get off to it. You seem damn proud to announce the disposal of another expensive item. When I throw something out I don't make a post about it to tell the whole world about it, I JUST THROW IT OUT.
I liked throwing them away, to be honest. I was getting even in a way. One of the sweetest sounds is the BOOM of Y-Pipes and Cat-Backs meeting their death in my dumpster.
$1,000.00, yay!Originally posted by deftoned989:
Maybe if you pull your head out of your ass you'd realize how [censored]-ish you're coming off as and maybe that's the reason no one likes you on here.

Unless you're a troll and I wasted 5 minutes of my life writing this, in that case go play freeze tag with oncoming traffic. Thx.
And yes, holding a personal grudge against a piece of metal is completely healthy and completely normal
I'm not mad. I laugh off what others cry about, when it comes to my car.

Call 1-800-FORD-SVT. Give them your VIN number and they will give you the date it was built and the build number. They'll even send you a certificate!
Thanks, but why would I need to do that? I already know the build number. That certificate, along w/ the original sticker, brochure, etc. is at home, on a shelf, in a closet.

Greetings moronic cerebrate. I come from planet Earth. A place where a majority of the people who are into cars actually know what they're talking about.
I "duly noted" that you asked if there was an SVT database in which you wished you could identify the build number of your supposed SVT. Later, you state you don't need the phone number to Ford SVT because you already have the certificate and build number in a frame stored in a closet. Suspicious? Absolutely.
Lastly, learn a rule of thumb while you're here: Bust Pete's balls and everyone will bust your balls, whether you like it or not.
Add another vote to the "AYE" for me, please.

I bought a Bosal and it sounded and looked like crap.
I asked for a hand-raiser for those that bought all 3, new, for their Contour.Originally posted by EvlBill:
Scott (scottd60) bought it off me after only a few months so he's had it too.
That's where I differ. I threw Bassani away, never dreaming of unloading something that I thought looked and sounded like crap on the 1st Scotty I came across, like you did.Originally posted by EvlBill:
And like Pete said, it's the whole "I don't like it, so I'll just throw it away" mentality you seem to have. It seems rather wasteful on your part and you're putting fellow CEG'ers out of a deal on used parts.
Am I the only source? No. My money, my choice...I'm not asking for permission to throw my stuff away. If you don't find it here, pick up a newspaper, go to a dump, look on ebay, etc...OR, I know...buy that used part when it's...new...like I did.Originally posted by EvlBill:
Though it you're selling a used stock exhaust for nearly dealer price, I'm not sure how great a deal they'd get anyway.
$125.00 for a SVT factory cat-back is nearly new dealer price? Really? Funny, I thought that was pretty much the going price for a used system.
I added $30.00 for shipping because 2 Fed-Ex drivers said "no problem"...1 UPS driver said "don't see why not"...called up Fed-Ex, gave them the measurements, the weight, the zip and they said "mmmmmmmmmmm, 'bout $29.00"...that's all before I priced the final cost. Wrapped it all up, walked in, got a price of $400.00+ and directions to the airport so it could be shipped as heavy-freight [45lbs...LOL]...sent the money back to the buyer and said F-it.
btw, I installed it on a local friend's mother-in-law's Contour for $100.00, as a favor, and because I'm a nice guy..and thanks again to whoever it was that gave me the tip on the P/S exhaust hanger. Turned out really sweet. :drools:

I didn't ask about the database for myself, I asked for all the weepers that might like that number, just incase they felt like playing Jr. Detective on me.
Sorry that you were blown away by that. :giggle:Originally posted by SAV-ZX2:

If the moderator/name-caller needs to be the biggest crier and tantrum thrower, just because he can't handle what I do with my money for my car, so be it..."so shall it be."Originally posted by SAV-ZX2:

I recently threw my starter away.
It sounded funny and had already racked-up 40,000 miles on it...replaced it with Motorcraft, of course. Only one starter was more expensive, but it was special order, and I didn't feel like waiting.

Okay, $125 is much more reasonable. I was referring to this post of yours further back which makes it look like you sold it for $400 plus shipping.

And yeah, I sold the Bosal to someone that LIKED it. So are you saying I should have just thrown it away when there was obviously someone else that might actually appreciate it?

4. I'm going to defend Pete before I defend you because for one, he's been here a hella lot longer and is much more acquainted with everyone else here. Two, to become a moderator, one has to have exceptional behavior and knowledge. This is why Pete is the moderator and you are not.

5. See my previous post. You still need to learn how to quote correctly. Don't come back until you've at least figured that much out.

Instead of being kicked out, why not do everyone a favor and leave? You wouldn't be missed!
