Default How many people in this sport are this genuine?

Here is a conversation I had with Art regarding a downpipe he sells.

Rather than selling me something that could potentially destroy my motor and making some money that he could use, he said this after advising me against purchasing the downpipe from him:

"Sure any time chris.. To many people trying to make a buck in this sport,
when I just want to help. The downpipes may be pricey, but Im not making
harldly anything. Its just to cover my gas expenses and time. Even then I
always come out negative. Its ok, people are worth it. The only other good
person I trust is Ben from importparts.com

ok, I'll stop now. LOL

art"

Art, I hope you don't mind me posting this without your permission, but everyone should know what a good guy you are.

the hail to Art thread!

hell i might as well join in.. When I first came to this messageboard, I barely had 30 or so posts, I made a post about how I was thinking of going turbo and wanted to ride in a turbo honda before I went out and spent 3k+ dollars.. Art having never met me and me being a newbie still offered to meet up with me so I could see his car.. Not to mention EVERYTHING he has done for me during my turbo install, oil pan fittings, FIXING MY FUEL PUMP.. list goes on.. just want to say Thanks Again Art!

So does ART run all of this stuff out of his home, or does he have his own shop, or does he work for someone elses shop?

...downpipe...

...something that could potentially destroy my motor ...
I'm totally in favor of us all setting up a shrine to Art and everything, but can someone clue me in on how this downpipe could destroy his motor? Just curious here... I mean if he has 8.8 JE piston and Eagle rod he should be able to handle any downpipe he damn well pleases.

I think they were talking about the boost spike that could potentially be caused by the 3" downpipe on the Drag 3 manifold..
