Anybody know where I can get the duct or someone who can make one. Or another companies duct that will fit?

 

you could ask the guys at http://www.2dperformance.com/intercooler.asp

 

They'll only sell one if you have a reciept or the broken product (which I didnt know you needed to show). Dont have the reciept since I purchased mine through M2 a long time ago, that and the duct was destroyed when my parents shed collasped. The duct was stored in there while I was replacing the some coolant lines. My mom cleaned up the mess that included the duct, which went to the garbage.
So, hopefully I can find someone who knows where I can get one. FS section hasnt been helpful.

 

I believe this was to prevent people from using the duct on cheapo intercoolers that don't come with a duct. Have you tried explaining your situation and maybe offering pics of your intercooler to prove you have an ASP original product?

 

I sent multiple emails to Kevin but he has yet to respond back. I did tell him I would send pics, I even bought his Airpump pipe to make the intercooler fit better. I would ask Damian and Andrew but they answer to Kevin. I've seen the ebay intercoolers and someone is already making fiberglass and stainless ducts but those intercoolers dont sit the they way the ASP do. So there's no reason why they cant get a duct for those.

 

As Blue suggested pics would help, something to prove you're not just some lamer trying to get a duct for an ebay ic etc. It's quite the story to end up with no receipt, no duct etc. Is it safe to assume you have at least some pics of it installed in your car?

 

I've been putting some stuff back on the car and will take some pics. Do you want them by email or should I post them

 

Had my neice take some pictures of the intercooler & pipe. Did Andrew talk to you about the pit in the pipe after sanding the airpump pipe. Should I go ahead and tig weld it. The pipe fit good but I had to disconnect the airpump plug from the bracket to fit, that and it did shift things a little to the right. So I'm having a guy make a new outlet pipe just because he can do it for free.
As far as the reciept I only save those for items have a warranty. As I told you before I didnt know I had to keep the reciept to buy a replacement item before. Had I known this when I bought it I would had stored it along with my other electronic reciepts. You should Damian post this on the 2dperformance site.

 

Do me a favor and take some close up shots of a few things, A. Those hose connectors, close up so you can see how thick it is, B. Close up of the clamps, in particular the buckle assembly and lastly, C. close up of the core so you can see the fins. After that everything should be fine.

As far as the pit in the casting don't tig weld it or do anything unless it goes all the way through and you can stick a pin through it or blow through it etc. That's the reason the tubes are so thick, so that pits aren't an issue. I would be amazed if it went all the way though. It's just little air bubbles coming to the surface during the casting. If it makes you feel better the easiest thing is to probably mix up a tiny amount of JB weld to fill the pin hole since the color will be similiar. Remember this is a very low pressure application on a relative basis.

 

I can't imagine anyone else would have thrown out the duct so it wouldn't have been an issue.


Also I forgot in my previous post to mention that I was looking for pictures of your car with the kit installed WITH the duct, before you mother "threw" it out.

Correct me if I'm wrong Kevin, but don't you always use Breeze clamps?

Is it possible the date on the camera is off by a little?

 

Camera date has to be off as it has the new cast pipe in there that didn't exist in 2002 : ).

Yes on the breeze item which is why I want pics because it sure doesn't look like it there.

That's right, no fuss, no slip from Mother, oh darn those dirtballs only made low quality copies of the large kit, guess it won't fit. Thanks for trying to help though badrx7.

 

Guess this explains your post badrx7

Before I do anything else I've been getting a lot of PM's (9 PM all extreme dislike for Kevin) How much is the duct going to cost because most have said Im going to pay up my *** for it.

Badddrx7 - I have thought of that and they did say their duct would fit. And I kind do feel like Im begging. I feel like a little kid having to beg their friend to play with their toys. But Kevin does have a better product. I thought once Damian took over (who I'm trying to model my car after) things would change.

Kevin I'm not trying to rip you off at all. If I did have an ebay intercooler I could have bought the duct a long time ago from the 2 forum members. One which makes a stainless steel version and another who made a fiberglass one and are under $175.

As far as the couplers and clamps they are not yours those are ebay couplers and a lot thicker than yours. The guy said they were hightempsilicone but I dont think he meant the company but he did through in the clamps. I didnt like the black ones your came with. I Wanted some extra color in the engine bay and I didn't want to go all black or red inside, so blue was the only other choice.

Sorry for ranting but I had to get this out. Kevin if you dont want to sell me the duct feel free to PM me and say so. Im just getting a little tired of having to prove things to you. I know you feel people are going to rip you off but im not. Dont know how you could live your life or business like that (no disrespect). You could stamp a serial number on the intercoolers for an easier verification and for your own peace of mind. Either way I still love your products and will continue to.

 

I'm not terribly interested in how many kids on the forum think I'm not nice. I appreciate your kind words about the ASP being the better product but I honestly don't think you have an ASP/M2 IC. That's why I've been kind of annoying about it. I didn't just say go away because it's always possible I could be wrong. The following things lead me to beleive you were hoping to get one of my ducts for an ebay IC.

You posted the following in April with respect to confirming what you'd get with an ebay IC kit.

"I emailed then just to make sure if they made a mistake on their listing or in fact they are giving both the intercooler and pipes and this is the reply I get in quotes. "nope were trying to sell the couplers and clamps for $125 are you gonna buy?? DUH!!!!!"

A month or so later (may/june) you were posting trying to buy a used ASP duct or whole used kit.

You were also posting trying to buy both a used air pump pipe and the charge side pipe as well. So you somehow lost both pipes from your IC? Did your mother throw those away too?

You're acknowledging that the pictures show the hose and clamps from the ebay IC, what happened to the breeze clamps that came with your IC? They're 10x better than the crap ones from ebay.

You said you bought your IC kit from M2, it's been years since I cut them off and yet you were willing to buy a complete used kit a few months ago and were calling XSPower to confirm what came with their kit?

To make sure I understand all of this correctly, all you have is an IC core, that isn't looking like one of mine, and lost all pipes, clamps, hose, reciept and duct?

 

Actually 2 were not kids and very well-known and respected here on the forum. I posted to see if the duct came with the ebay kit. Could have bought that for probably the price of what your would charge for your duct alone. What is the price of the duct. I emailed about the pipes because I lot of people were not getting the pipes with the $99 dollar kit. Posted to buy either a kit or duct because I could have bought the kit and resold everything without the duct. Or someone with the kit would possible sell me the duct for the right price. The pipes were because I knew the new pipe would shift things over which it did and badly rubs against the battery. Friend making the new one currently) The reciept why would I save a reciept over 2 years old. M2 never told me too and I didnt know anything about you or your current stipulations. I still have the clamps, pipes and couplers in our new storage shed but there is no way in hell im going in there. (you cant even walk in).
This is exactly what I hate, trying to prove something for something I bought and paid for. Maybe not directly towards you but you did get some of your money back from M2. I know what I got and piad for, if you dont want to sell me the duct just say so. No hard feelings, Im not going to lose sleep or cry about. Im not going to bad mouth your products or anything.

 

So does that mean you won't have close up pictures?

 

Most likely not. From the pics provided in the beginning of this thread, the intercooler looks like one of the ebay knock-offs. I don't understand why the cover-up. I think honesty would have been received a little better rather than a whole drawn out story.

 

Why would he lie and pay up the *** for one of the ASP ducts when he can get one that is make for the Ebay intercooler from one of the two board members selling them for $125 shipped? I don't see why he would lie

 

Exactly my point.

Comments about it not being an M2 are a bit worrisome only because of some complaint about M2 and them missing up designs, screwing people, etc.

Im not going to be taking anymore pictures not because Im trying to hide anything but more of how far this will go. You asked for pictures of it installed and I gave you them. Then you asked for more detai and I explained what happened. How far is this going to go. What next you might ask me to put my camera inside the intercooler to see the inside core. There is absolutely no reason for me to lie. What is there to gain and duct that I know will cost a good deal of money.

Guess I'll just drive the car without the duct or at least until someone can help me out.

 

dude, you blew it, your story no longer holds water. if anyone was going to this much trouble to get a duct, they'd snap 20 photos and send them without thinking twice. you're lying about something.

 

What trouble, its kinda more like begging which Im through doing. I lucked out on the pics because I knew my neice was at my parents house and could take the pictures. Now me having to go back to my parents house too take pictures myself is troublesome. I have nothing to hide. But it does matter what you or any other member thinks. Well, excluding Kevin because its his choice on who he wants to sell too. Ultimately, its his decision.
