Are there any gains proven or ?

Pictures ?!?!??!

No, this is the exhaust manifold for their twin turbo kit.
Early manifolds are known to crack.

Leroydsouza 02-04-2015 09:10 AM

Aw crap, I thought GTM HAD come out with some badass looking Intake manifold lol

Its not that its being concealed, Its just that there currently is no source other than GTM. Someone that both member "DEpointfive0" and myself know was presented an opportunity to scoop up the manifolds if GTM does not. He reached out to us in attempt to gauge the potential value/risk of the investment. I do not believe that anybody is going to do anything with them until GTM's intentions are clear... I dont think anybody is interested nor does the option really exist if GTM chooses to continue forward with them. I believe what we have here is somebody overseas that is becoming anxious to move the manifolds is and investigating alternate sources *if* it comes to that.

Thanks! :tiphat:


As an FYI to anyone wanting a set of manifolds... If the 50 sets aren't purchased, which God knows there won't be 50 buyers... What's going to happen is that the cost of 50 needs to be absorbed. Hell, I'd even take it upon myself to refund every "old" buyer for "newer" buyer that buys one

Ex: 30 buyers are found at $1000, every new guy that buys one, every one of the 30 members gets $40 back until the price is $800~

COSMO 02-04-2015 04:55 PM

Question: With whomever is duplicating these gtm manifolds what kind of guarantee if any will be offered???

vividracing 02-04-2015 05:01 PM

I have already placed an order for a new manifold for a customer, I would tend to think that GTM is committed at this point.

They are not duplicates, they are the actual manifolds. As for guarantees etc, way too early in the game to even think about that. A company overseas asked a guy here if he wanted to buy the manifolds, and that guy is trying to decide if he wants to buy them or not. That is the only information available at this point.

:iagree:

And it's like anything aftermarket... Pretty much none, lol.

I was informed that the manifolds are made out of a better material now for whatever that's worth

phunk 02-04-2015 05:19 PM

Ya unlikely there would be any guarantees since replacements would come straight out of the pocket of the importer or retailer. Free replacements under a warranty would require the product have a minimum of 200% markup by at least one party in the chain. If people wanted these manifolds for under $1000, something has to give.

GrooveStyle 02-10-2015 04:59 PM

So does anyone have an updated phone number for GTM? Last few times I've called it just rang and rang.....

VSS370z 02-10-2015 05:10 PM

That's a good question. Unless it is for something they are yet to give back or own you i would stirred clear of them.

Their number has not changed, still located in the same building and have you tried contacing Sam via email? sam@gtmpower.com? He's better at emails than answering the phone.

GrooveStyle 02-10-2015 05:26 PM

Thanks, I'll send another email. Called 3 times in the last 2 weeks with no one picking up, emailed 8 days ago. Week 39 awaiting refund. Did a wire transfer so no financial company to back me up (I learned my lesson). Just hoping to get my cash back so I can move on...

If anyone hears from GTM in the near future please let me know... I'd like to know if I'm being dodged or they're closed.

elperuano 02-11-2015 07:28 AM

^ouuuchhh. Sorry to hear that.

When I was getting my refund I drove him absolutely nuts until I got my money. I called at least 3 times a day, every day until the money was in my account. Don't let him **** you around. Be very persistent. Sometimes I would call and it would ring for 5 minutes before they answered. Just keep at it man, and don't let up. Good luck!

no offense, but why in the world would you do that? you wire money to family members who say they'll pay you back and even they don't lol. i always pay with credit, if anything happens i call and dispute the charges and get my money back.

bullitt5897 02-11-2015 10:56 AM

They moved to a new building... just as an fyi...

They are still trying to get the whole shop set back up and items unboxed...

GrooveStyle 02-11-2015 11:05 AM

Ok thanks. Any idea if they're keeping the same phone number?

bullitt5897 02-11-2015 11:50 AM

I don't know. I do know they haven't gotten their server back up yet and trying to get them by phone is going to be a futile attempt until the phone system is back up. Unless you have sam's number...

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaah so that's why they're not picking up their phones, the servers are down! Can't believe everyone on this forum thought GTM was being dodgy.

AK will you please unban GTM now :bowrofl:

bullitt5897 02-11-2015 01:37 PM

Really... Smh

Cmon now.... yes really.

Does this sound like "they are going to make it right" speech to you? If so go back to school for reading comprehension or get a damn GED or something... Some people are real damn dense in this forum. People are calling a number that just rings and then hangs up... I am letting those people know to use a different method because the company's phone system is offline... Sooo with that said you can take your sarcasm and point it else where... I am only attempting to help people in the same situation as myself. Don't be an ***! If you do not have anything constructive or beneficial to add sit down and shut up! :gtfo2:

elperuano 02-11-2015 06:24 PM

I'm just saying, sounded like you did in Cosmo's thread...:ugh2:

COSMO 02-11-2015 07:49 PM

That was pretty harsh don't you think? I believe this thread was opened so people could vent so other threads would not be ruined. :tup: Now kiss and make up..:eek:

bullitt5897 02-11-2015 08:59 PM

Cosmo,

Honestly, it was not harsh enough... There have been many times where I have spoken up to help others in the community just to be hit with this kind of disrespect... This is not a bitch session thread... This is a thread for people to discuss their dealings with GTM and to get help...

I will not stand for animosity towards members attempting to help others. On the other hand if you want to step in and be unproductive then do it in an off topic thread where it is designed to be that outlet... This is not an off topic thread...

I got a lot of respect for you. ;) But what you said here doesn't make sense. If their phone system is down. How did they call out? Do they use their own cell phones?

COSMO 02-12-2015 03:18 AM

There is No help to be gotten here with gtm, it's done and over when they took peoples money knowing they were going to file for bankruptcy.. What gets me is they all of the sudden have resources to up and move and also have the ability to have their parts that have failed remanufactured .. Do you really think if sam is able to raise the titanic that he is going to offer to make things right with all that he has wronged??? If so I want what your smoking pal..lol

elperuano 02-12-2015 06:08 AM

Or better yet since "I know where they stand with things and they are slowly working to get themselves into a position to make things right from what I am told" as you stated last week.... (sure damn sounds like a they're gonna make it right speech) why don't you try helping GrooveStyle get his money back since ur so knee-deep with Sam? That would serve this commhnity better instead of saying the same regurgitated B.S. over and over.

"It is going to take them atleast a year if not longer. Take it for what you will."
I like how you give them yearly spaces of time to get things right. We're long past monthly windows with them. Going on 1.5 yrs now I think....

got to love America

zguynate 02-12-2015 08:32 AM

Bunch of negative nancys in here.... I don't feel as if Bullitt is taking up for GTM. He seems to be giving out useful information. Just because he hasn't lit the torches and marched with his pitchfork, he's defending them? I really don't think anyone on this forum is happy with GTM right now, but don't take it out on someone who is providing a little insight of whats going on.

bullitt5897 02-12-2015 08:34 AM

Elperuano,

I want what ever you are smoking... Let look back one week... Nope that wasn't said a week ago or even a month ago...

Not only that, but if you used proper reading comprehension you would have read that last section of the quote: "from what I am told" this is not my opinion but rather the forward of information to the masses from what someone else communicated to me...

The second quote you used is out of context of the conversation where I was giving my business opinion on how long it would take for them to get their business back up and running after they had downsized and gotten to a survivable environment. This was all hypothetical and in context makes sense...

But then again why should I expect you to understand this.... You have proven the inability to discern the transmission of facts from nut hugging....

I have spent more time and money than most with GTM... I also have a good bit of money/products owed to me as well...

So get off my nuts! If you do not have anything constructive to say to help people in this situation then shut the F up! We don't need your ignorant banter when it does nothing but stir the pot. Go troll my350z or some other board...

Z eliminator 02-12-2015 09:06 AM

I talk to him all the time. Hopefully he will have the stroker ready to ship in less than a month. Yes there have been setbacks.
But make no mistake GTM will make a comeback.
A lot smaller but he intends to make every thing right over time.

Your statement was posted February 3rd of 2015. In Cosmo's thread. My reading skills are working just fine. Just go look at his thread in which you posted last week. Now, please pass me that blunt because i got no idea wtf ur smoking.
You're not helping $hit but saying the same crap that you said months ago. We all know you have spent all your money with gtm and that's no one but YOUR fault. We know you're phucked and HAVE to stick with them. All I'm saying is no need to act like a douche bag when someone rightfully so puts ur company down. Don't get all sensitive. You seem to want to vigorously defend the con man. Quit bringing that ******** here.

I realized that. Makes sense now. If they were working on my car for years and they still owed me parts AND money i would be just like him too... carry on bullitt. I hope ONE day in the near future you get ur car finished. Sorry you didn't go another route. There's builds out there already close to ur mark in HALF the time ur company took.... or is still taking...
