A few years ago I tried getting in touch with these guys. They were barely starting to talk about this particular setup. Back then, this was going on at GNT.
They had the most terrible customer service in the world. No emails answered, no phone calls returned. I even tried posting messages to those guys from this board. They never replied. They were too busy for customers. Supposedly, Dave was sick at that time. I attempted to purchase their intake setup and other performance parts, when I did get my phone call answered, I was told that my $2500+ order I attempted to make from them would not be sold to me because the guy working there didnt know how to work a credit card machine. B*llSh!t I thought, these guys are just lazy saps.
I still admired the page they had up, it had a pic by pic type page showing them making the intake. I went to my shop that night, and with a die grinder, some speedecut wheels, flapper wheels, sharpie marker, a 12inx 12in sheet of 1/4 inch aluminum. and a ballpeen hammer. I made an intake that looked pretty damn close to what he did in about 8 hours(beer drinking included.) The only difference was that mine cost $20 for the spare intake to cut up, and a few extra bucks for my materials and beer. Heck I couldve purchased a new grinder, and made about 25 intakes for the price of one of theirs . A few people asked for pix of my intake and asked how I did it. I told them I looked at the page GNT had and tried to copy what they did. In no way did I try to take credit for his design or sell my ideas in any way.
Within a day I had threatening emails from Daves cronies saying that I bettter quit helping others, and even dave made some real stupid comments me not being a "real buick guy" like he was. He showed 0 class, a lack of business savvy and his true colors.
Since that time my posts have been virtually none existent. I hadnt checked up on this site for almost a year until the last few nights, what do ya know. S&S treated their customers the same as GNT.
They dont care at all. The stories are great and almost similar, they involve the hardships of the business owners, too sick to work or too busy to explain to a customer how they ripped you off. Its always the same "I was sick" or " there was a fire in my shop" , "I mean, I was robbed"," Im gonna start a new business and take care of everyone" , "oh no my insurance is not gonna pay for the loss". Why turn off their phone? Why not call and explain to the customer? Its simple. The customer is the victim.
Good luck guys, this is gonna be better than the Jason Dale fiasco.
