Post back when you have positive input to give. Whining is not positive input. It's a negative contribution. Remember, you're a newbie. No one would notice if you never made another post. If you want anyone to take you seriously, consider making the following improvements:

1.) Most people will skip right over your post and not even read it. No one wants to read that giant paragraph. Break up your sentences.

2.) Instead of posting how bad everyone else's products are, why don't you post why yours are so good? A technical forum isn't about shitting all over other members. It's about generating positive input. While negative input is inevitable, the positive should outweigh the negative.

3.) Grow up. All you do is bitch in your posts. Whining, complaining and getting worked up and throwing a hissy fit when you've been beaten in an argument isn't helping your credibility. And the name calling. You say "I was finishing grad school when you were shittin' yellow" - whatever that means - and you call me "Cocoa Puff"? Mr. Grownup adult who went through grad school name-calls like a Kindergartner? You're the staple of maturity, alright.

4.) Don't act like a you have some longstanding history with ARH. Last month, you were going to get QTP longtubes. Now, you're a fan of ARH. You're calling me out for putting one brand above another, yet this time last month, you didn't know the strengths and weaknesses between brands.

I do what I do because I've been around here a long time. I can make a pretty good judgment between brands because I know what the purpose of headers are, I've seen huge amounts of feedback between particularly every brand and have researched these items for so long, I have a much better idea than the average forum member of the strengths and weaknesses between brands. That's why I feel I have the ability to cast my judgment. I've done my homework.

Look, you have 59 posts here. No one outside of this thread knows you exist, and if it weren't for me quoting you, no one in the thread would know you existed, either. Instead of coming after me and passing judgment of what YOU think I do and don't know, consider posting up something technical to positively influence the community.

Simply put, you haven't been around here long enough to make a judgment call on what YOU think I do and don't know, because plain and simple, you don't know me. You don't know the time, effort and research I have into my car, you don't know what my setup looks like (though you think you do), you don't know how it performs (though you think you do), you don't know what it sounds like - hell, you don't even know what went into the install. So how can you pass a judgment call if you know so little? You're a self-proclaimed newbie. Remember that.

BTW, I offer you a challenge. These products I "bash" - please, name them up. Name a product on LS1tech I've ever bashed. And no, the Turbonator does not count. Seriously, you say I bash products. Go find them. Don't confuse constructive criticism and valid comparisons with bashing, either. Go find a post where I've ever insulted someone else's purchase. Fetch


Now I see why you're the joke of this forum. You do what you do because you're an opinionated idiot and don't realize it. I'm not here for popularity like you, moron. I'm here for valid information. There's no whining or bitching in my posts, nor have I bashed any products (like you do). You're the one calling ARH a giant ripoff. I just want you to stop ruining the threads with your diarrhea of the mouth. Since my paragraphs confuse you and you need help with the big words, I'll keep it brief:
1.)

2.) You're an Idiot!

3.) See 1 & 2

With a response like that, it makes me wonder how you own the car in your sig. They don't give a driver's license to 14 year olds, so why would you own that car? Beats me

Again, grow up and stop bitching. Stop complaining. You called me out on all this stuff, and I asked you to please show me where I've committed the offenses you accuse me of committing. You have failed to do so. Maybe it's because you're full of ****. Could have something to do with it

I can't do this anymore. If I wanted to argue with a highschool freshman, I'd talk to my much younger cousin. Until you have something important to say, don't bother responding.

I wouldn't pay too much attention to blanco, either. He's another guy that makes wild accusations without any proof. I "apply V6 logic to V8's", but if I were to ask him where I'm doing this, he wouldn't be able to provide a quote since he's another full-of-**** liar.

Why is it that because someone, (rsodeputy61), has fewer post than you means they don't know much about these cars? Because you have more post than me makes you smarter than me on these cars? I doubt that. I've worked on Vette's since I was out of high-school, a race team and performance shop, and went to a two year school in automotive; but since you have more post makes you smarter I guess. How would you know what (rsodeputy61) background is? Just because someone has a few post doesn't mean their ignorant about these cars. Seems like some people think because they've read it online makes them a pro at this stuff.


I went with KOOK's then had them ceramic coated. Just make sure you get stainless steel. My KOOK's headers slipped in with no hassle. (rsodeputy61), if your refering to American Racing Headers, that seems to be a good header. A lot of the Vette's guy's like them. My KOOK's still look like they did when I put them on -

ls1's have to have compresion. They run on back pressure. Cut outs on ls1's are fun and sound cool but they take power away. Cut outs in cold weather with a y-pipe (which is famous for popping) will suck cold air up and warp your valves.

thanks 2002 SS #476 & 5_02lS1! glad to see i'm not the only one who thinks this guy's a tool. i was wondering if anyone else was reading this *****'s posts, but i see now that most of you have already "been there, done that" with the infamous taco.......he just can't understand what everybody keeps tellin' him. post on things you know about and keep your freakin' pie hole closed on the rest! oh, and yes 2002 SS #476, it's American Racing Headers that i have and am very pleased with their quality. i think they're very similar to the kook's and to the OP, you can't go wrong with either.

What his background is is a moot point. If you go through his posts, you'll find they are nearly all worthless. A technical automotive forum isn't about how smart you are about anything in particular. It's about helping fellow enthusiasts with their problems, regardless of your knowledge of cars. You're right, post count has nothing to do with how valuable an asset you are to the community, but the number of people you have helped does. It's not about how much you post, but it's all about what you post and who benefits from it. Some people choose to help, others choose to name-call like children and make personal attacks. I'm proud to say I don't do the latter.

BTW, don't mind 5_02ls1. He's sore from another thread.

1) My background is the whole point...I'm an expert at detecting idiots.
2) You prove this every time you post...
3) And others tend to be idiots and help no one...HERE'S YOUR SIGN
4) Can't u see there's a pattern here of people who consider you "mentally challenged"?

*Sigh* You see people attacking me because they're sore from a completely unrelated thread. It has nothing to do what you've said. Through your constant name-calling, uncalled for personal attacks and incredibly childish comments, no one in their right mind would back up anything you've said without an ulterior motive. Don't flatter yourself - it has absolutely nothing to do with you. You're just an incredibly amusing character. I'm really having a ball watching you flip out and feel tough because you think people are coming to your rescue

And no, your background has nothing to do with the issues at hand. No one really cares what you're posting when you get right down to it. It's just so easy to set you off, I just gotta do it.

To add to the amusement, just remember, wherever life takes you...:
