So I had a guy stop down several months back. Wanted a cheap exhaust on his 6.4. I explained how straight piping he needs a tuner. Gave him a price. Thought he could do it cheaper. So he goes home and cuts his muffler, cat and dpf off. Then finds the truck runs like crap. Calls and wants a tuner to get it to run right. Give him a price. Decided he can do it cheaper. So he gets a tuner. Tuner doesn't fix the truck as he bought one that wouldnt eliminate dpf sensors completely. Calls me, wants me to fix it now. Give him a price for getting the right tuner, and he wants a get his exhaust changed. Ends up paying the almost double.

Point of this is sometimes you get alot more when you pay a little more. What happens when you buy the cheapest studs available, get the whole job done and you run into some issue, like it wont start? Instead of being able to call the basement vendor you bought it from and get some help, you have to ask your question on a forumn and hope you get the right answer. Vendors make a living, support families with these businesses, they dont make money talking on the phone to someone who is all about saving $40.

Spot on Jeremy.

Gotta pay to play, buy a civic if you cant afford a 6.0. Put yourself in their shoes... its simple as that, I work hard for my money too and Im also not rich, success is that much sweeter if you know you worked that much harder for it, thats my opinion though everyone is entitled to their own.

How old are you kid, 15...16? Most people don't like to work for free. You'll understand when you get older

Yeah, and everyone of us that have posted bust our ass every day, Dorian, Steve, and everyone else. We offer as competitive prices as we can, but we won't break the bank for someone who doesn't even want to offer us the opportunity unless we can beat every Tom dick and Harry's garage price. We stock 100 sets of these at a time, and have no problem selling em. I hope you find a smoking deal, and when your missing a washer, and the person you bought it from doesn't have the necessary paperwork, or refuses to help you, and your out a few bucks, I won't feel sorry.
I admire you doing what your doing at your age, but I did the same thing at your age. I got taken to the bank bad by the bastards I used because they were 35 an hour cheaper than RCD.
buy from a true good vender, or you might as well call Cobbs.
