From talking with Eric the other day there is no longer a 4 month wait. He pretty much on top of things.

Good things come to those who wait... Besides, I'm glad I had some time to think about the product... I had plenty of time to make changes, and to be sure it was what I wanted..

And Eric has the Rearends coming out a little quicker...

So what you are saying, is that since I didnt wait, I ended up buying something that was equal too or not as good as what you got

Opinions may vary.... is all I can say.

How much?? and strictly for drag usage?? okay to still run on the street with it??

I purchased mine in June and have it already....so it was less than 4 months. You chose the M9 and your happy and most of us went with the Fab9 and we are very happy. Sounds like it worked out for all.

I've seen M9, Danas, Moser 9s, and I'm just saying that I'm VERY glad I waited the 14 weeks for mine.... 100% I have a rearend that will handle 2000+ hp... M9s don't.... Do I have 2000hp? no, not yet. ... Fabbed 9s are better built (ingeneral).... IMO

Thumbs up



From Scott Parker who writes for GM High-Tech Performance magazine.

"It is safe to say that Exotic Performance Plus left an indelible image associated with the LSX Shootout thanks to the monumental wheel stand last year. EPP's orange Procharged Hugger Orange Camaro graced the cover of many magazines (including GMHTP) and posters from the event, and really helped launch the event as the place to be in the LS community. In addition, it spoke volumes about the new Moser Engineering 9-inch rear end and torque arm that enabled it. As you would expect, EPP plans to return again this year with their Camaro that has undergone quite a few changes. First the front end had to be rebuilt from gravity's revenge on the Z after scraping the back bumper. Besides the oil pan and thrust bearing, which were fixed at the track, the front shocks were bent as well as the K-member. After replacing the offending pieces, the motor was inspected and the stall converter was changed. New lower control arm relocation brackets from Moser were added to the rear as well, and a new air-to-water intercooler from Procharger has been retrofitted to the front end. Word is Exotic may also be taking its new GTO race car and Bob Johnson's Prochaged CTS-V (featured in GMHTP) to the Shootout as well. Updates to come."

Thanks Scott! Bob

I have never seen a 1000 HP+ Car go on there BUMBER.... AND.....

COMMENT EDITED OUT BY REQUEST...... ****. We know you like his FAB9 allready. Both of these rears, are the best bet for any hardcore car guy... Thats all that counts. Both of these rears will hold up to more power than 99.999999% of us will EVER have..

So with that said lets get on a new topic already..

Finally, here are the pictures of the M9 as I promised. Note, you cannot compare pics of rears already painted or powdercoated. To see the TRUE craftsmanship, you need to see it bare, like the ones someone posted of the Midwest earlier in the thread.

I do not own robotic welders or fancy rotary fixtures. I am a chassis shop that does everything BY HAND! I use only name brand USA made products and steel. Strange, Moser, Meziere, Timken, and Aurora components, ARP studs, grade 8 hardware, etc. I use Motive Performance gearsets because thats what people want.
rest assured... there is NOTHING cheap about any of my products.
I said cheaper, there IS a difference.

McLeod has sold a **** TON of master cylinders that have been nothing but problems for people. Just because you sell alot of something, does NOT mean it's the best thing since sliced bread.

I NEVER said your product wasnt a good piece, never said it was cheap, never said it was junk, I said it looked cheaper than the Moser M9, and, based on the pictures posted near the beginning of this thread, I stand by my original statement that the M9 looks better. That's my opinion, and if everyone else can chime in with theirs, I'm sure as hell gonna give mine.

Lay off the crack pipe buddy. The M9 will hold some SERIOUS power. Whoever told you the M9 won't hold up was full of ****.
