Steve, if you would like to send me an APEX, I'll test it! Change nothing but the manifold and give before and after dyno numbers, EGT drop and anything else I see. I'll also take pics and post of how the product is packaged and of the quality (we know its a top notch piece already but more pics never hurt). I can't flow bench it, but I can do just about everything else. I know that Ollie didn't have a good experience at all with Soot's intake (why epoxy it? Why, Why, Why?) and I'd be happy to show everyone the difference.
I can say this, Steve is a stand up guy. Very professional, and even though I've never ordered anything from Absolute, I wouldn't hesitate. He even took the time to call me after 5 on a Saturday afternoon when I needed to talk to him.
I gave him a bunch of undue crap when he first came out with his manifold because he didn't have any numbers and I was listening to JJ about how Steve was a shady guy. I WAS WRONG. Steve is a great guy and has proven that time and time again. I have already apologized to Steve man to man (or as close to man to man as can be when 2 guys are thousands of miles apart) but I'd like to take this opportunity to admit I was wrong in a public forum and extend my apology again. Steve not only accepted my apology earlier, but offered to help MTW whenever and however he could. I look forward to working with Absolute Performance in the future and hopefully one day having the opportunity to meet Steve in person and shake his hand. Thanks again for not holding a grudge Steve, that shows the kind of character that so many in this world are lacking.
Now, back to topic. Odawg, sorry for the derail, but I needed to get that off my chest and admit I was a douche and completely wrong about Steve. Been looking for the best opportunity and your thread presented it.
