Performance Wise Hard Intake

[Trex]

Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone had used their metal intake kits.

I messaged them to get pictures so i could get a rough idea on clearances and what type of filter i would have to use etc etc. Their reply was, "we don't have any pictures" I replied "could you please get any pictures from your personal cars or friends cars, or contact a recent buyer to send you a pictures, as i have had problems with your silicone intake and your coilpacks" I received no reply, and no refund to both purchases.

I want this hard intake as it will suit my engine bay, but I'm receiving no help from them. No i don't want to pay them money again, but they have something i want.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Mine not good enough?

My design suits the stock airbox or a pod, and comes with excellent customer service included free of charge.

I wouldn't buy from them if they can't answer simple questions or supply pics.

Scotty is obviously the way to go!

Just wondering what the issue with the other items from them and their reason for not refunding? If something isn't fit for the advertised purpose is the law you get a refund.

One person's idea of fit for a purpose is always different to another's. They might say the coils are fine for stock tune Skylines, at stock boost for instance.

I always try to keep my customers very happy, as people will always tell their mates about it, good or bad experiences.

I had no idea you made these or about your facebook page scotty! A lot of your stuff pops up in my newsfeed too haha.

I'll PM you

The problems i had with the silicone intake was, it's very soft and would kink and face directly into the hot pipe. I sent them photos, and received no reply.

I decided to cut it and make do with what i had. i made it sit in a better position but it was still kinking and facing too high up.

When I contacted them again with photo evidence of all my modifications, they blamed me for butchering their product (even though they had photos of the original uncut item) I asked if they even had a skyline to test it against and their reply was "I don't own a car" At this time i knew it was like getting blood out of a stone and left the situation.

With the yellowjackets. They were on the car when I purchased it. I decided to get the car tuned by my friend in somersby (great guy, with the best reputation) He called me at 10PM to let me know that the engine had died midway through a run and was not starting. I feared the worst and I couldn't figure out what would have caused it. He saw smoking coming from the coilpack cover and after inspection, every coilpack had melted. He installed splitfires and i called it a day as i didn't want to try again.

When i picked up the car we were talking about the ecu i was using and the factors that could have caused the yellow jackets to melt, It could have been the ecu, but everything seemed fine on the 2 runs prior (I threw the ecu away, as it could have been the cause) but after weeks of searching the net and meeting up with people and phone calls, i found out I wasn't the only one with the problem of yellow jackets melting. I found heaps of threads on the issue, and heaps of verbal testimonials on the matter.

I contacted performance wise, who obviously denied the yellow jackets had anything to do with it, they even had the hide to blame my tuner, saying he cooked my engine. (if the engine was cooked, i would not be able to use 5w40 with no leaks and no water to oil contamination) I used this oil as a test, it's been 5000k's with no oil burnt etc (quite happy actually . This was roughly a year ago. (Correct me if i am wrong) 3 years after yellow jackets release, 2 years after their official release and out of testing. They also said they have a 2 year warranty on all yellowjackets, mine would have been within this warranty, I sent them the serial codes on a coilpack, but they said that didn't mean anything...

This thread wasn't meant to turn out like this. But it does feel good to get it off my chest

And superben, it's hard to get a refund when they can easily say it's a chinese supplier, or the business is chinese, even though they sometimes say everything is made in Australia. It's hard to believe or know what is really going on or who is running the ship. I had read that many different stories on different boards from the 'business' its very hard to know what is going on, or where the supplier/business is.
