Rob,

I will tell you one bad news, i'm so sorry. I think you'd heard VTTO company, they had become our customer one year ago, because your have the same products, so i can't sell these hoses to you.

Best Regards"

the other forums, tony came back to squish robs, inlets are no good thread. rob apparently went to the same supplier for his inlets, so tony asked for the supplier not to produce robs, the above quote was their suppliers email to rob.

I did my best to stay out of the drama, but this is messed up.

Not sure if there is any reason to defend anything here but most products are made in China/Taiwan, even the beloved Cobb stuff is made in Taiwan and likely every electronic device or appliance you own.

That being said, yea VRSF inlets will be good value but they are different then those VTT hoses since the VTT connect like stock and VRSF will be passenger mounted.

As far as background politics between vendors, yea I could probably write a book on that.

I never anticipated inlets would cause this much drama.

I thought from what Terry said its standard practice for that vendor not to sell custom fitted parts...
