Also, something weird happened with the formatting of your post about him not knowing what a tune was on the F10 side from just a handful of years ago. Same exact thing happened to me when I tried to post a screenshot of one of his comments yesterday. So I can't quote it, but what you have shown there is so unbelievable. You would think people would know that there is a button that says "show all posts."
That looks so freaking bad man. As you alluded to in your post, and the same point was made by jnotrom711 in an earlier post, this should not be the guy selling you parts to "modify" your expensive speciality car.

Imagine all the thousands, tens of thousands, of dollars in revenue/profit you've now missed out on because of a FILTER. A FILTER! Now you are making up lies about where you get your products from. Man just admit it, you don't make these intakes in-house. You don't design them. From the story posted earlier about someone visiting your shop it's blatantly clear at this point that you white label them (which isn't even a big deal, but you are lying that you don't!) as previously stated by someone. It's funny that you're trying to push off your cheap Chinese crap as your own design as if you're Dinan, Eventuri, or one of these good companies that actually do invest R&D and design their own. Good luck coming out of this. Lol |

No, not possible. They must have stolen their design and infringed on their patent, trademark and stolen their intellectual property. It’s obviously corporate espionage going on here. Project gamma is the victim of at least 4 other companies now as well as alibaba in cahoots to take down project gamma and steal their design. I’ll tell you what, if I had white labeled an intake tube, marked it up 10x, I would have at least put high end hardware, and some better filters on it to French it up a bit. Even project gammas logo looks like it was done on windows 95 clip art. (Yes I stole French it up from Joe Dirt, or Joe Deerte’ ) |

Nothing new or insightful here. Seems like most aftermarket parts are made in China. Then copies are made by others and eventually copies of copies. And American companies buy the stuff, mark it up as much as possible and sell it to consumers here.

Some do sure, but I'd bet a vast majority of the high end after market companies R&D and manufacture their own products. Example: Dinan, eventuri, pretty much any major wheel company, BMW M Performance, etc etc

Dinan does not own any factories in China or have staff on the ground there (though I think Dinan does a decent job at quality control). Apple does. But even Apple owns very little manufacturing. Most is outsourced. What separates the good companies from the rest is quality control and customer service and it makes sense to try to buy from the companies that are good at both if it is a part likely to need servicing. I don’t see any need to spend $3500 on downpipes when the $600 ones do the same job just as reliably. |
