So, which was the best ??

Was there a massive bug-off at the end ??

:drink:

TBH I might have dreamt of pandaville after another thread got bumped the other day :bigblink:

As a totally unbiased piece of info that I know first hand to be true - lots of Porsche, Ferrari and Lambo owners will buy all sorts of junk for any price, and lots of the people aiming at those owners are conmen purveying the most atrocious pieces of crap yet invented that your average scooby owner would die laughing at (let alone anyone with sense :assflash: ). I have seen this myself from all sides of the process and marvelled at how these often highly astute business people can think this nirk in a shed who is bolting some cheap piece or chinese tat on their exotica, badly with a Halfords socket set, can possibly be worthy of the four or five figure sum they have often already handed these people before seeing anything of substance in the flesh !!

I am slightly concerned that in my own 20 years of being very into cars of all kinds and having owned more than 50, at times with over 200k's worth of metal on the driveway, I have yet to hear of Prindiville even though their offices at 5 New Street Square are a development I myself was personally responsible for !! :biggrin3:

Oh and try a search on Pistonheads :bigblink:

I don't think they would want to sell a piece of junk to the owner of say an Aventador or 599... Just saying..

Lots of companies with shiny floors and fancy lifts haven't a fking clue what they're doing.

Look at mickf29 in the states. He was using a Porsche tuning shop to do all his work on his RS4.

They charged him $1000 to install his short shifter and never got it right, eventually refusing to try, when even the most novice DIYer can do it in their driveway. $1000 to NOT install his shifter lol.

They charged him a fortune to install a clutch and never once read the directions right. It eventually failed so they had to reinstall it. Then it failed again when it was revealed they hadn't used loctite on any of the flywheel bolts.

Don't be fooled by fancy.

Sorry,

My Bi noc U lars must be flat !! :bash:

Please show me where I have backtracked ??

In the first post I said that I like Ti exhausts - I dont contradict that view, because I do like 'em, both the weight saving and the "hollow" sound they can produce - have you picked up two identical systems out of SS and Ti as a comparison ? I have and was surprised at the difference !!

I point out that some on here should wind their necks in and give the guy kudos for thinking outside the box, rather than just outright hostility and negativity - which has kinda happened and in fairness he's mellowed a tad too and I hope it continues in a constructive way as soon as we're past your little dig.

I also said that there are many good reasons for Ti and that there are lots of options for other cars, citing my first hand experience of GTR ownership - can't see where I have backtracked by saying I have never heard of Prindiville, who as far as I can tell are one of the new plethora of high end would be rip off merchants that I also highlight in my second reply. I never said they were dope in the first one, in fact I don't even mention them, just the Titanium concept which is a genuine one. My concern over rich knobs getting arse raped by people like Prindiville was just a warning to the OP who seemed set on contacting that company, which I think could be a mistake and entered into with great caution, but the idea of a Ti exhaust is a valid one.

Hope that has clarified it perfectly for you so we can move on.
