It is very possible that the crossover tube gouged the insides of the rails when MPW installed it the first time with no O-rings. That would aslo cause the O-rings to not seal when you eventually got them.
This is still installer error in my opinion. I mean c'mon, I have nearly a full page in the instructions on testing the rail kit for leaks BEFORE installing the upper.
It's not our fault that they didn't read the instructions. It's not our fault they put it together with no O-rings. It's not our fault.
We've shipped well over 500 SSI intakes.
If those are all of the negative comments, then I'd say that's not too bad.
You better make sure you inform your insurance agent (or whoever is controlling insurance in Canada) of all the mods you've got done to the car before you go burning it down. Otherwise you'll end up with a check for a 93 GT and none of the extras.
What are they going for these days $1,500-$4,500?

That was 1 thread i started 3 weeks ago. There was 5 complaints in it. Thats 5 more than i would have wanted. Granted people always bitch, but what can YOU do?
Id be interested to see out of 500 intakes shipped how many leak vs dont. I would hope that 99.9% are perfect.
So, MPW installed it wrong, Nicks installed it wrong ? Remember, even with your instructions on how to shim and the NEW o-rings your fuel rails still leaked!!!
Its possible many things happened to make me have to go through all this. I just think your attitude to the additional costs the consumer (me) was wrong.
Your unprofessional comment to this:

That was a big SCREW YOU to the customer (me again). I didn't install this kit.
But you're right, custom work is expensive to repair, especially for this improperly designed intake, but it pails in comparison to me having to replace the full cost of my car.
Ive already contacted my insurance company. I don't believe it will burn down now that i've spent the $300 repairing the
faulty fuel rails your company provided.
I don't believe with my appraisal and current coverage would they have looked after me knowing that the cause of the fire was a BBK Performance product.
They may have paid me if my car caught on fire cause of your faulty fuel rails, but in all likely hood would have investigated the cause of the fire and went after BBK for damages.
Thats not the type of press i would want. I don't think i would want this internet press either. But hey, you're enjoying it, i paid $300 more of the intake, so im going to enjoy it. Its a huge party.
Anyhow...
A decent 93 gt with black interior, low km is going for $10,000+ .
Thanks for being concerned about my car burning down, its about time
BBK IS THE BEST, providing you don't buy their
BBK SSI intake with leaky fuel rails.
