Tones Cold Air Twister Intake????

[creeg]

I have to backup Tone- hes not in it for the money. Hes here to help us all out, and if he felt that a product didnt help performance, there is NO way he would sell it.

In fact, I was going to buy his turn signal light conversion kit a while back, and instead he directed me to a way to do it for free- not the sign of someone whos just selling junk and in it for the money.

Tone's not in it for the money?! That's rich, creeg. That's a fairy tale. Your mother does things for you out of love - Tone just wants your money. I'm no fan of his, and it's not because of what he sells - it's because of his "Here's my deal - take it or go f--- yourself" attitude in doing business. Case in point...

Tone charged me $75 for a supercharger throttle cable bracket and another $40 to overnight it (for a 2-3 ounce part!) because he knew had me over a barrel - my VX was disassembled in a garage waiting for the bracket before it could be brought back to life. Yowza!!!

Now, this is the same throttle bracket that others have been complaining for years that they never got with their S/C kits, but Tone made it out like he was doing everything in the world to get the parts out of "evil, uncaring" Alpine.

Did you catch the implication in that? Many VXers here have paid Tone thousand$ for S/C kits that did not come with the brackets (among other parts), and never got them out of Tone - meanwhile he just so happens to find one and charges me $75 plus exorbitant shipping for it, instead of giving it to one of the many customers who already paid for it and never got it.

Tone, you have a lot of nerve (and no grounds!) for blasting away at Dino like that. There is nothing he said that isn't generally true of any filter kit, and I looked on your site just now - there is no dyno graphs on your site for the Green filters. The closest thing I was able to find was a dead link here to to a graph that used to include the dyno curves for the S/C before and after adding in the PV exhaust - JUST LIKE DINO SAID.

And that's all FACT Tone - with a paper trail behind it. Your ridiculously-quick defensiveness speaks to your insecurity about your products. You have been portrayed as some sort of all-knowing VX god here, but I find that characterization laughable.

And you don't even own a VX anymore...

Sorry lizrdman. this thread has taken a wrong direction........

[VehiGAZ]

I held my tongue for a long, long time, but this "Tone is the greatest thing to ever happen to the VX community" stuff... well, I just couldn't stand it.

It wasn't you, man. As with any online purchase, you win some, you lose some. Some people have had great experience with Tone and some haven't. That's all this thread turned into - an outlet for positive and negative feedback toward Tone. Oh well, what ya gonna do? If you decide to buy now, you might get a discount!

Good or bad opinions not withstanding I gotta put in my two cents worth here. I've watched the man, numerous times in blazing summer Texas heat, install items owners have purchased from him and not charged them a dime or asked for help---ever. I promise you folks that should you ever have the opportunity to meet up with Tone at a group VX function you'll walk away with a different opinion than the mud that's being thrown on this thread. Let's put this to rest-we're all a little better than what's being posted here.

And you don't even own a VX anymore...

Yet he was the first in line to pony up fifty bucks to keep this site going...I'd say you really hit the nail on the head...he's obviously of low moral character.

I hope my sarcastic tone needs no further explaination...

[VehiGAZ]

Let's say this much, ldub, Tone is neither pure saint nor pure sinner.

Couldn't agree more...I fall into the same category.

[nocturnalVX]

To keep this thread going further off track... I'd say I'm more like a saintly sinner!

..... that tone is very 'comfortable' playing the "know it all' arrogant role...

(recently...be it Dinos experienced 'opinions' regarding exhaust/venture (SIC) stuff...or giving "Nerve gas" a REAL hard time for sharing his thoughts/dreams for his rig)



So...if as we have seen historically..
...that tone doesnt have a problem with belittling other posters ......



...then Ergo , one must assume that tone will be OK with.......


........ QUID PRO QUO


IMO...it boils down to tone taking as good as he seems to love to give.
