I also definitely encourage anyone living close to Danville to visit Partee Racing and see the production process for yourself. |

If a 1-piece design is so much better because it doesn’t have, and I quote, “less weak points”, why would you design a version that adds more “weak points”? So you designed a 1-piece version for what purpose again? |

I don’t get what you’re saying. Every product I have launched has been successful so far. The first product I launched were Throttle Actuators and it’s been 5+ years and thousands of our units are in cars across the world. Thosands of happy customers across the world. Even FCP Euro buys from us. With EAE, we designed the Power Steering Reservoir. We’ve sold hundreds in the last year and can never keep it in stock. There is absolutely NO product on the market that solves the PSR leaking issue other than the EAE one. We launched the e39 M5 expansion tank and that has been received by the community with so much excitement. Each one of our products are unique and affordable. We have many more products coming out this year. Hopefully, you will be able to appreciate the product line. Anyways, like you said, less talk and let plenum speak for itself. I hope this is the last time you have to go back and forth. Let’s sit back and enjoy the plenum. If you like it, by all means buy it. If it’s not your cup of tea, then by all means pass up on it. |

I received your preorder for the valve covers. I also can’t see a reason why it won’t be. But let me check with the engineering team and get back with you. |

Thanks Chrisyphus for joining in!
Everyone else, we do not have that many forum participants that have demonstrated professional MS knowledge on the forum. He could be another fantastic resource for a wide range of topics, DONT FUCK IT UP FOR EVERYONE! If you hate the plenum, hate Abdul, or just need your online debate itch scratched. Please reconsider how you’re engaging here.

The product is rebuild.org and you are a reseller. Well done (truly) on a warehousing business. But the product is not yours |

but as one of my favorite "celebrity" engineers once said, "The more someone knows about aerodynamics, the less certain they are with their answers." I've found this to be overwhelmingly true as intuition often bows to data. Intuitively, we can both agree that a 2% difference (and I am rounding up there) is negligible. but if you take a closer look you'll see that it's a 13% gain in an area 4" around the inlets to the velocity stacks. Still not that much.. until you consider the fact that it's a 60% increase in height from the bottom of the rib (now just the inside of the dome) to the top of the inlet. This is a fairly major decrease in restriction. Quote:
Oooof you're going after grammar and phrasing now? If you can't see the benefit of removing a potential failure mode, there's no reason to continue this conversation. |

My comment had nothing to do with grammar. It was taking a design that was supposedly superior for its lack of weak points, adding weak points to one of your design options yet still stating the design is superior because it’s one piece. All of my comments are based on the marketing bs supporting why this is the best plenum design on the market. |

Regarding the pre-order failures which threads seems to have all vanished, all I would say is anyone who was waiting for their purchase is "it will ship next week" and how that phrase became a running joke after months of lies about shipping.

I am sure it performs quite well. But for my taste, it is too round. I do not like the look of it. |

This is from their site. Their plenum only replaces the top part and they bond it to the OEM bottom. That to me is just a very bad idea. Our plenum is completely different at all levels. |

You're telling me that in your mind, there's no reason to limit failure modes to as few as possible if you're going to have any at all for the sake of aesthetics? So in your world, you see windows on a house and think "why put a wall up at all if you're just gonna leave a hole in it?" Quote:
You've argued in circles, asking what the improvements are, asking why we think it's better than before, and now you're asking why we decided to have a window if we wanted to limit failure points. The simple answer is because we can, because we want to, and because people want to buy it. Why you are spending so much energy on the topic, I'll never know. |

That’s some world class customer service right there. I just hope the best plenum in the world is half as good as that.

If we had bonded the Aluminum to the carbon, it would have been a minor concern across 100*c you can expect the material to expand ~2.3 mm Our prepreg, like most, on the other hand is formulated for a near perfect zero CTE. Lengthwise on our flanges we could expect to see about a third of that across 100*c this is sort of a worst case scenario, obviously, but it is concerning. For this reason we decided that instead of bonding the aluminum we use a gasket and fasteners to secure the flanges to the carbon. |
