Have you seen how many failures Fuelab pumps have had? I've seen a ridiculously high failure rate with them.

not to argue with you but a1000's fail all the time as well, and there about 100x's louder than a fuelab.

A1000's have been out forever, you'll definitely hear of a lot more failures with those vs. FL pumps just because the FL pumps are relatively new.

If you want a big single pump Weldon is the only one i'd consider. They have a lifetime warranty on them and they are the best quality pumps available in the aftermarket world.

a1000s are loud when idiot owners rigid mount them to a car... mount them on rubber isolators and you cant even hear the pump
