I read it and see nothing wrong with it.... But I think some children here need a time out or a good spanking....
OH yeah here are my thoughts about this last page.

As the PCA Secretary this is the best you have? If Mark has a problem with my take on what I see he can get one of the moderators to wave the magic wand and all will removed. Mark can also put on his big boy pants and do it himself. Let me ask you this, how do you feel paying Mark for Protomotives proven and test products repackaged? Just one more guy stepping on your dollar.. And your the PCA Secretary
I am fully aware of Markski's products and my tune is not a Promotive variant that he resells. Anyone can throw some pipes together and call it an exhaust or resell other products. It is the person behind the company that makes the difference.
I am done trying to "communicate" with you. You obviously have some beef and just trying to use this thread as a springboard to try to get some traction for your "cause." That is pretty sad.

I wish he did date my sister. Wait I would not wish that on a enemy The fact is he is a sponsor and this is a thread about the OP making/having his OWN exhaust system on his own car. Who clicked on this thread to read about Markski's exhaust? Not me. And not the OP! I hope OP acid etches "YELLOWSKI" on a nameplate and tac's it to his exhaust. What is crazy is all the nut huggers that race to the defense of a sponsor who uses excuses like "sorry I have been up for days jet lag" when he was totally wrong in his advise or gives two different statements for the same question as in the use of a boost controller. Oh and I will bet no one clicked on this thread to read this either so If someone wants to continue the latter topic they should feel free to open a new thread about it and I will meet you there
Im sure you think I made up my jet lag "excuse"... I traveled a lot 2 prior days... not that it matters, unfortunately I looked at the wrong color coded line with arrows ( blue and red on that ebc drawing)... thank you for pointing out my mistake so graciously AGAIN... your right every time... BTW, I talked over email as that member got a hold of me and I explained it 2 days before that drawing was published correctly... And Mark, well he wanted to hang out when he is in Chicago, beer etc. that type of thing... Im guessing a thank you for just answering calls and emails when he had issues. I did not think that one picture of a few "raw" parts in question that Mark pointed out ( not the whole exhaust like you stated) would cause such a big deal... I guess I was wrong... Again....
BTW, long before this thread was started Mark gave me the opportunity to make the exhaust for him( we mutuality agreed not to go thru with the project)... so I am not angry nor POed that he did his version... I'm glad he is building his own... I meant every word of it...
Most of your comments towards me are demeaning and questionable, you remind me of some FOX news commentators that have nothing to loose and everything to gain...
I refuse to argue and stoop to your level... good luck and here is my boarding pass, yes I really really was abroad and did not sleep for 2 days... I took a few minutes out of the day to actually scan it, upload it, and post it just for you... so you don't think Im just pushing my exhausts...
sorry for taking up space on this thread Mark, I really did not mean it in a negative way... in any way....

We all have mixed opinions when vendors post in members' threads. Please be courteous, take the high road, and keep this thread about prodigymb's custom built exhaust.
Thanks.

Thanks.

I vote for the people who have issues with Markski not air them here and the OP to continue this thread on topic. This Isn't some cut throat community and we are not lions looking to jump on the first vendor who we have issue with. Why are we doing this with markski? If you don't want markski to post in your thread, don't mention him and his product! Can we put egos aside here? I just want this thread to help me when I do my exhaust build. How is this helping the people looking to build an exhaust?

I think your reading too much into it... you referenced my exhaust as being smaller etc.- as "can resonators" which they are not. I wanted to show you and readers what they were... sorry maybe I should have pm-ed you or emailed. ... Im not mad nor angry nor trying to promote my product- you referenced my mufflers without knowing what OD and structure is- I think I can clarify that right? If you referred to my exhaust I guess I can mention that I responded to at least 10 emails and 10 texts helping you find the boost leaks and error codes- including looking at the videos and pics at no cost to you .... am I missing something here? we all on the same team?
as far as the emails go - i am actually REALLY surprised you would bring that up here since it doesnt pertain to this discussion at all. i appreciate the help you provided on my pressure testing situation. you help a BUNCH of people here "for free" right? out of them maybe 20% are your customers, i happen to actually be one of them.... so i would have never expected that to be rubbed in my face
thanks Val !

The 2nd part is correct. I do not think I need to comment on that here, just like I do not think you needed to rub your help in my face. BTW a respected member sent me a handful of PMs on your fuel pump kit asking me for my feedback etc. I took my time giving positive feedback, install tips etc - and this isn't the first time, or that I recommened it to 2 friends who will be getting it within next few months. Using your logic - should I be paid commission ???? LOL
my comment to you was not hostile given our prior converstations you should have known that, your cheerleaders may not. i simply asked you not to mix my new exhaust project thread into a for sale thread for your exhaust - just respect and courtesy.
However I (along with ALOT of other people who follow this thread, friends who arent forum members) thought he was steering this thread offtopic, first the magnaflow crap then with a rant how he builds his own mufflers. Just like I would with anyone else I said what was on mind. Im sorry I got the fan club rialed up, you can holster your keyboards.

40+ I believe. Not including the true-dual 3" tips we decided to make last night which are going to be tough...

40 hours at $75 an hour (which is probably on the low side) is $3000 and then add in parts - probably at least $500-1000.
Just curious as to the route you took and why...
#71
Not to seem rude or criticize, cause I like what you are doing, but it would seem that the time and parts cost would exceed that of what vendors are offering for a similar setup.

Yep, I just assumed it was a one-off, but if it is R&D for production than makes sense.
#73
I was going to say hope you're making a jig.
#74
Yeh I agree since it's the first one it would be much longer and that's how it's going to be with mine. Parts was about 1300-1500 for me but i do have about $600 in Vbands. Guy is a buddy of mine so he seems OK with $500 labor and all the beer he can stand. JIG for sure!!
#75
I always liked that fact that it is there because of you and is there the way you wanted it. It is not a me too part but one of this is like this because I wanted this or that to sound or perform like this. More power to you. Making all those miters and segmented cut is very time consuming and tricky. Money well spent and looking forward for your next mod.
