New intake manifold going on

Yeah. It wasn't purchased from him though, it was purchased from derek13p for like $600. Its a topmount T3 44mm EWG. Except the fucking compressor housing hits the EWG flange, so it won't even work without the EWG on there, let alone with one. It looked cool, and derek13p said it would fit on a 3 fine, just was too tight on a 6. Of course I sat on it for a year before I attempted to install it, which was too late to fight though paypal. I messaged him and let him know with pics and such...bro didn't even respond. chump. I get that I waited too long though, my fault totally.

If you wanted to get rid of that stupid cheap I'd likely know where you can get rid of it.
 
Ive got one of his top mount manis that i cant use now. Its actually a really nice manifold but seeing as I have a RHD model the ewg wont go on as it hits the AC line and compressor housing makes contact with the windshield cowl/firewall

Damn Kenny, that must have been a huge let down getting that thing in the mail after the teaser pic looked so promising. Glad you got it sorted out. I agree, the ports leading from the runners to the tank are a joke. Terrible workmanship all around.

I really was patient with him. I even sent him $50 worth of good carbide endmills to explore his new cnc router he bought. He is a really smart kid, but just made a bad decison sending out a product like that.

A million times this...he can claim he never got the package if there is no delivery confirmation and/or claim the product was returned back missing pieces or damaged or used. Not sure what Paypal's policy is on that once a refund is eligible but Im sure they prob make sure to limit fraud on both sides of the aisle.

Doesn't matter if the package gets "lost" and PayPal doesn't want to refund, IF there's postal insurance could claim via postal company.

Signature confirmation is required through PayPal during a dispute if the purchase price is over $750. Insured, boxed up all nice and pretty. Ready to go. Once I have my cash from paypal, I will be blasting this all over social media.

Those pics are pretty terrible. Also the design of the flange and runners are pretty awful. Glad you were not stuck with that thing.


Looking into the pictures again, this thing is probably the absolute worst looking ad far as design / function of any sheet metal manifold I have ever seen.

This guy knows nothing about manifold design / airflow.

Also the ports on the flange / the flange itself are pretty awful looking .

i sure hope he doesn't refuse the package since his signature is required for a refund.
 
Sorry to hear the manifold was bad after all the hassle you went through just to get it in your hands in the first place.

Thank you sir. Since this was supposed to be a Christmas present to myself, I guess I will seek out the mighty Javier and just get a pnp...which will allow me to get other goodies as well.

All I have to do is get the tracking info to paypal. If he refuses or doesn't respond, I still get my coin back.

are you sure? the fine print looks like he has to sign for it.

Paypal almost always sides with the seller in disputes.
