RV6 HFPC now $600???

i PMed richie about getting these like a month back and even tried calling like amonth back when the website said to contact him about getting them when the price was $400.

this is bullshit! he didnt wanna sell me 1 when they were 400 and now the proce increased 50%? i dont think inflation and materials went up that much i the last month.

ur a joke richie and a dishonest man. i was really looking forward to getting some but now forget about it

Dang son. Even $400 seemed a bit steep, but now that they are $600 I guess I wont even be considering those high flow cats.

richies RV6 HFPC's were never $400...not sure what you're talking about. richie is one of the best vendors on this site. I cant speak for everyone, but he's always done right by me. i'm always happy to give him my business.

you sound like you're off your meds buddy.

Parts for TL are decent. But that does suck if the price went up. I barely could justify $400 now at $600 I rather not bother.

He stated that the introductory price was just that, an introductory.

Richie is an honest man, and came through for me.
if you have a problem, why not call and sort it out with him, instead of making it public.

I will continue to give him my business.

for example, a lightweight crank pulley from evo sport is $1000.

ours is ~$225

the website said 395 sorry if i was incorrect claiming $400....u jackasses

the introductory price being $400 is maybe where i am mistaken here. but i have verified through members here who currently run the HFPCs thst it was 400$, excuse me $395

and i was way more emotional than that baby crying lol

but i am wrong for making this public and insulting RV6. the man makes great products i was just outrageously pissed when i was that it is now $600 and realized why he never answered my inquiries

Yeah but the evo would get alot more power and benefits out of the pulley rather than the maybe 2 hp gain we get

PCD were at 400 but not the HIGH FLOW CAT PCD. NEVER. I was one of the first to PM richie and he said HFC would be 200$ on top of the PCD price. Lastly, PM doesn't help Richie considering he gets 10000 PMs a day from people interested. Email him or call. I swear I wish the TL was $100k so when it gets old it is still a reach for you to buy.

Ignorant. Pulley shaves a tenth in your 1/4 which equals 10 whp gained.

Sounding like that because I know what I'm talking about unlike you. I would pop a California joke on you but I got to much love for some Californinans here. It was most likely a deposit. I'm done, it was pre mature for you to make a thread bashing one of the best vendors on this site.

There are many more modified and Mustangs in general to offer products at a much lower rate. This applies for many other cars as well. When there is a small market for modified parts such as the TL, prices are more considering they are made in such smaller quantities.

If you can't afford parts, don't modify or buy a TL, buy a civic, mustang, eclipse etc. There are only a small number of manufactures who make parts for our car, so if they want, they can set the price almost anywhere they want, or you can buy knockoff e-bay parts.

"Gotta pay to play".

thank you....this real information was valuable...i asked to be corrected if iwas wrong.

stupid cliche phrases like pay to play dont help...

im not the kind of douche who post threads saying "whats the best cheap way to add horse power"

im not an idiot...i know anything that is cool once you pass the age 12 costs money...

you all missed the point...i "thought" that i had been done dirty. i can see why you and champ have racked up over 2000 posts. you have no lives. you over post and dont read.
