I'm not interested in an argument here, but the vendor rules are in place, are enforced uniformly and fairly. I'm sorry you disagree, but as a vendor on this site, how pissed would you be if someone was getting away with advertising without paying? He was given the choice and chose not to follow the rules. Its really as simple as that. As for having his content deleted from the site, you are free to choose not to be a member of the...

I think I'm still entitled to my opinion so...

Here's what you need to build your own manifold, just need a TIG welder and rod. Here's the list with pics. Cylinder head flange, Turbine inlet flange, Turbine outlet flange, Turbine adapter pipe oval to 3 inch round, ARP manifold studs, merge collector (made of schedule 10 pipe), O2 sensor bung, EGT 1/8 NPT bung (optional), mandrel bent schedule 10 pipes, and mandrel bent 3 inch piping for downpipe

Guys, the facts are still there. He was not banned for sharing his heap of info, or trying to help the community. He was banned for not following the rules. It would not be right for Sam to go about the forums advertising his online store while ken at protege garage has to pay for that same exact privilege. I am sorry that you all feel this way. But he was warned.

Awesome thread Sam.
