What I still don't understand is why everyone leaves good feedback. You think those people really think that "CHIP" really made a diffrence.

If you take a closer look at the feedback, there are quite a few 'repeat' buys from the same buyer....probably same seller using other ID's. Now you could say 'What if I want this pos for other vehicles?'. You could just order more and combine shipping.

Nice try.

Feedback from the same person only really counts once as far as the actual feedback score which right now is 336. Though, it may help his percentage. Not sure if they factor repeat business in that one (which they shouldn't).

That said most of the positive feedback is just "fast shipping", and instead of leaving negatives, the buyers who are saying "no difference" are just leaving neutrals.

The reason people aren't getting the claimed increases in power and economy is because they are running on stock muffler bearings. If they upgrade them, you'll really feel it in the seat your backside! Oh... btw, i don't mean the power, i mean getting screwed. lol

I think it was the SLP one. SLP is such a great company, who is very interested in customer satisfaction and not just financial gain, huh?
