Fair point, i think what was aggravating was the response. Simply saying something like we were not aware of the compatibility issue, we will make a note of it on the website was really all i was looking for.
And the fact that i was alreay replacing a junk part i already got from him didnt help.
I would have been wary of mixing and matching parts, especially ones that do not follow the stock route. Ive mixed RB inlets with Vargas outlets, and vice versa. Anything that had a hotside air intake relocation kit interfered with EVERYTHING, not to mention was a complete pain in the fucking ass to install and rubbed on everything.
Instead of assuming all parts mix and match (which a lot of companies dont care if your other brand parts work with theirs, some of them want you to buy only their stuff so they make sure it only works together with their parts), you couldve easily sent off an email with a question of hey, do you think these will fit with the inlets I have?
I dont get all this beef with Tony, hes been more than amicable on my end, but then again I owned my own shop at one point and still wrench on them from time to time, so maybe my background lends more trust than just some random customer off the internet.
