    To quote "MAP HEADER vs AP EL( not the best, and AP may suck in general, but its a decent header )

    As much as I dislike some of MAPs business practices, I can honestly say the header is a good piece.

    While the gains are not as drastic as the original ****ty comparison made, the GAINS are still there. We sent a bore scope down the runners to check the collector and where very surprised to see its a nice design. Overall the header is a good sound design.

    This was a direct swap of the header on the same car, on the dyno with the same start and stop AIT/COOLANT temp and 0 changes to the tuning. Boost error was on point, so boost was within .15-.25psi . We made the comparison as equal as humanly possible. It picks up power EVERYWHERE.

    Id say its a good value for the money. I also want to thank MAP for having trust in my honesty lol.. They pretty much set themselves up for a huge fail if this thing did not preform. My assumptions where wrong."

    If its significantly cheaper than the Killer B header it seems like a good deal

    What astounding efforts by Map to advertise.

    Pasting a whole link to another forum. Don't strain yourselves now...

    Yea, I hate when people just assume I can follow a link and read things for myself. Jerks.

    As a customer, are you more likely to be interested in a company that takes the time to actually paste the full review/article/advertisement/announcement, or one that pastes nothing but a link? It's the same amount of effort, but the appearances are so much better when they spend the literal seconds needed to drag mouse that much further to paste the whole thing.

    While you're right that it's not that hard to click the link and go read it myself, IMO it makes the company look bad since they hired such a lazy person to maintain their forum presence.

    I get your point. I guess I'm less discriminatory. If they have what I want, at a good price, I'll buy. If they are local and employ locally, all the better. I don't need special graphics or attention.

    If it was a link to an ad, or graphics or release info I would agree. However with it being a link to a results / discussion thread that started with negativity from a well known entity in the community and turned around to a positive review, I find the link pasting appropriate. Let's me get all the info, where most places will just cut out when they don't like and distract with flashy graphics. They have a release post in the vendor section already, I just see this as sharing public opinion without sugar coating

    That was a pretty entertaining read actually and I was on the edge of me seat to see the Prime/Jr testing results, but none of the images are working for me. :(
