Holy fragle rock! 460$!

they finally broke down and started offering it huh?
i was told "i haven't discussed it with my parter" ??
which led to NO!

no offense to treadstone, but that pipe is nothing special on closer inspection, its mild steel and the way it bolts on to the S pipe is kinda ugly...
its a good move on them to start selling it thought.

Mr_Meaty

OH, DAMN!
AEN, is that what price they quoted you?
I'm sure AEN's frequent calls, emails and bomb threats is why they finally decided to start selling it, but $460 is more then the Manifold!

olaHalo

make your own DP out of chain link fence poles and christmas tree lights.

jk so are you going to get it?

aen

HEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLL no! such bull____ freal.

nope, thats just for a downpipe
its because its a custom peice
if you take your car to a shop, theyll charge upwards of $400 to custom weld a downpipe

Damn..this sucks. Thats a bit steep. I think ill just try to sell your
manifold and go with the atpturbo.com manifold and downpipe...they
offer both at cheaper prices than this...i went with you guys cuz i
liked the treadstone a bit more

Mr_Meaty

You copy and pasted that 3 times in there.
And you last name is "Nguyen"?
I thought that was a Thia name?
Did you get my email with the maps?

aen

my baaaaaaaad hhahaha i fixed it

olaHalo

nguyen=viet

and someone finally beat me for the longest post ever

Keeshwah

aen if you're interested i might be able to sell you mine (treadstone down pipe). let me know.

nebster

yeah companies charge an arm and a leg for their stuff thats custom. i know my buddy wanted a mani and dp custom made from tt and just for thsoe it was like 1500

Keeshwah

im just waiting to see if the guys doing my install think it's cheaper to modify the one i have or make a new one. a 3" might be nice though... even if i doesn't do much good for me at first.

jrodTc

haha! what'd they say after your last reply? I mean if they want to make money and keep a customer, they should work with you, thats pretty lame on their part. Let me know whhat they say next.

Keeshwah

i tried getting their kit minus the intercooler and that was a no go as well

aen

yea! ill take that downpipe for suuuuuuuuureeeeeeeee what kind of flange is it?

what ____es me off is that hte downpipe ISN'T EVEN CUSTOM. it's the same exact one from their kit. nothing different.

i havn't gotten a reply yet...

aen

ok, i just got a reply.

all it said was...

im never dealing with htem again.

aen

from turbo toyotas? their downpipe and manifold combonation actually sounds pretty on the spot. it's a tubular manifold so it should cost a pretty penny as it is.

Mr_Meaty

You may still need to do some custom work on that DP to get it to mate up to your turbo.

aen

like what? my turbo shouldsit in the same place that treadstone's does

both are garrett turbos and the only difference is my turbine size.

malloynx

the ATP downpipe is only 250$ and it's stainless steel and 3inch. it's a work of art.. works perferctly with the atp manifold and it bolts to the stock s-pipe

aen

i know, if you read the email part i complained to treastone, i hope htey do some sort of price match thing.

also, what ____es me off is that i was about to buy the ATP manifold. but my tuner said i could save a couple bucks if i let him make me one. .....then he got evicted.

Mr_Meaty

Your right. You should be good with the ATP setup.
I looked at it and I like it better then the Treadstone.
