This really sucks, and is an unfortunate development for those with the SC.

As Mike stated above, people don't care about quality anymore. All they want is cheap parts.

Yeah, this is a bunch of BS. Too many dumb kids want cheap **** that looks pretty rather than performing well. Oh well, I guess we can just replace them with a bunch of poorly engineered, well marketed products from fly by night companies that most people my age seem to favor.............

I have remained stock in the intake department because I have been eagerly anticipating the Comptech Icebox/intake for the FG2's

I had spoken with Nate at least once a month to get an update and one was being super close to production when I last talked to him.

Looks like I will wait for ARC or settle for an Injen etc..

I want to punch a baby right now. What the ****? Such a great company.

I need to order my smaller pulleys right now and hope Hondata comes through with the I-Pro (or whatever they want to call it). If not... I'm going to have to sell the kit.

I posted this on the Road Racing/Autocross forum and I thought I would post it here too:

I just got off the phone with Comptech and dealers are currently in the process of buying up the current stock.
No new parts will be produced and all pricing is still current and not on special.

Once the dealers have bought what they wanted, then the website will be updated with closeouts etc..

They did not know when that would take place though.

I really doubt it will be a drastic price reduction because I am sure many of us here will take the opportunity to get a part we have always wanted knowing there will be no more produced.

A sad day
