I'm not comparing ebay to a business. You guys are nuts (or think I am).

Of course, you'll go with an established business over a punk on ebay. My point was, I don't care if they are a sponsor here or not. All things being similar (risk, customer service, price), I'm going to go with the most convenient and least expensive.

LG Motorsports is a sponsor here and they told me to go F myself when I bought a stud from them off a TA girdle and it was the wrong one. I'd rather go to a local place and order through them.

BTW. I just used gmpartsdirect as a reference point. I meant to convey $360 is about as cheap as you'll get it from a dealer.

BTW. Shipping from gmpartsdirect is "approx $39.99" according to their site (click add to cart and then check out).

I bought one from Miami Motorsports. I ordered it in March when I ordered my heads from TEA. It sat in the box for the last two months while the heads were being completed. After seeing the gains on the F.A.S.T. intakes on big bore motors over the last couple months I decided to buy one (BTW, Thanks David @ MTI for hooking me up this week!). Anyway, I sold the "brand new in the box" intake on Ebay and guess what, it's got a hole in the back. I never saw it. The guy I sold it too pointed it out and I refunded his money.



I left Miami Motorsports good feedback because I didn't know it was broke. I have to wonder how many other people made the same mistake. There must be something to that hidden feedback.

I hope no-one else makes the same mistake with Miami Motorsports.

wow that does suck

oh and just because someone is a sponsor doesnt mean it's safe. there have been sponsors in the past that ripped people off. i think the most recent one was something about valvetrain parts. although, i think every one that made the purchase was helped out by a good sponsor. not sure of the details but last i heard they wern't that good.

"Get an LS6 intake for $25, just pay $350 for shipping & handling."

Sounds like a good deal nonetheless. If he has good references then jump on it.

Shoot me a PM if you're interested. It's still with the buyer. With the hole in it I didn't bother having him send it back.
