The way vendors are today with their constant "spinning" of the truth (read as plain down right lying or evasive diatribe) to line their coffers it shouldn't surprise you in the least that people want the facts and not some marketing ![]() If you want to move that stuff you sell then your choices are either: 1. lower your prices to something reasonable (like a 50% reduction in price) OR 2. sit on your inventory (which you probably don't do because you do a "just-in-time" order to vendor and have them drop ship direct to the consumer..and then you walk off laughing to the bank) OR 3. ![]() Last edited by ZKindaGuy; 04-12-2010 at 07:23 PM. |

Like I said, they issue here is price, which is obvious from your post. To answer your questions: 1. "reasonable" is relative. Man, you will get much better results asking nicely for a discount instead of demanding rofl. gg Perhaps I should adapt this attitude: I DEMAND Lexus sell me an LF-A for 75% off!!!!!!! 2. I think Swat Performance is sold out of Intakes. The few that want Top Secret and can afford it will buy it regardless of what you think. LOL @ dropshipping straight to consumer!!! 3. Really? XwChriswX, I see your point and it would be supercool to do, I think Baker Nissan made a comparison between TS and Stillen intakes already. Next up should be a performance test between the TS and Greddy twin turbo kits. lol |

That being said, with this intake being posed up against the Stillen, the Stillen is a Long Tube intake, versus a TS Short Tube... I'm pretty sure the numbers will be different, more or less is expected. I'd just like to see it vs say the HKS or Takada... Which are both short as well. Like Ive said the whole time, I'm not knocking their product, just merely asking for evidence to support their claim. If their product effectively destroys the competition, then if its the best out there, then I'll pay for it, but I will KNOW its the best. I won't be taking somebody's [The Manufacturers, not Swats] word for it. I don't think that would be too unreasonable...

I think you're being a little rude. My take: A product is worth whatever someone is willing to pay for it. If Smoky has the rep, and the results to back up the rep, who are you to say what the item is worth? And as for monies spent, I'd have no problem spending the extra cash IF it could be proven that the advertised gains were real. So far I have not seen that proof. So your comments apparently don't include my pockets, which seem to be deeper than yours! You seem to take the whole thing personally, and that really makes no sense at all. You don't like it, don't buy it. No big deal.

Its a matter of greed and these people exploiting the absense by you people of all sense of what is sensibly economically pragmatic and what is not. It's extreme predatory gouging practices like this that drive inflation up and devalue the US economy. The United States is going down in economic flames because its population has less than a grade school understanding of economics. You people are selling your own country out and you are totally oblivious to see it or understand it OR you all do understand but just don't care...
