Screw Skunk2 and their shoddy business ethics. I posted truth and backed it up with FACTS!
Don't let companies strong arm you.

its just a bunch of internet drama.

It isn't libel. All the information I presented is public information, and it backs up what I said. The owner just has a hard-on for :bs:

Skunk2 is going to take a hurt in business from all this. I spent maybe 5 minutes looking around and this really is everywhere....
Oh well...

:drama:yeah but my point is, you contribute by making a huge issue out of it.
if their products suck, don't buy em.
i have yet to see any FACTS, just page after page of people posting :drama:
and ONE person, chucky, who is actually testing products.
where is the original thread showing that their products are causing damage?
so far i haven't seen anything except an e-thug battle.

I don't know much about them or any of this, but I'll share my 1 time experience.
Got a customers car and he wanted their intake installed.
Coupler was made out of some sort of plastic, instead of rubber to make a seal.
Coupler was wrong size, I would have had to use tape to fit it around throttle body.
Pipe didn't fit, it needed about 3 inches cut short and possible need re-bend.
Box says it fit the car and engine.
I just told the customer to get his money back because it wasn't gonna do anything for him anyways.

So companies outsource to Taiwan, whats new? When is someone going to make a fuss about ISIS, Megan, PSM, etc etc. Actually if i recall, someone posted up the info of where PSM got their stuff. Honda people just doing honda things. Like its been said above, dont like them, dont support them, no need to attempt and shut them down.

Everything is outsourced to Taiwan and China, even big name JDM companies. Doesnt matter what fucking brand it is anymore, it more than likely came from almost the same manufacturer. The only difference between legit companies and fly by night companies is Quality Assurance and they would actually back their products up.

Guys, the issue is that this company is trying to poach information on private citizens.
All I did was prove that their parts are based on knock offs. They are pissed about it.
No business should be targeting consumers for bringing to light public information.
Why do they want to buy my identity for it?

I'm still trying to figure out what this has to do with S-Chassis at all... We have our own knock off problems, skunk 2 isn't one of them. Plus there's already a thread in OT...

We should tell Skunk2 that SignalPuke is Barry aka ThatGuy, that should be entertaining for a bit.

Oh they hell will. I love reading their user comments. It's like combining Mustang and Honda comments.
