It is sad that those who were looking forward to our supercharger now have to deal with your utter and horrible rudeness. Please leave this thread and never post on mbworld ever again about the headers. If the header project needs to be scrapped because you can not understand what it was in the first place (a back burner project), so be it. It was done as a favor in the first place and is destroying our passion for making performance kits. We have built the absolute fastest and most powerful Mercedes packages in the world, and the headers serve no purpose to us except to help the community. We are now trying to set records in big hp for the 55 motor and you believe that your headers should take priority? That is pure ignorance. Our reputation speaks for itself and our customers appreciate that to the fullest extent.


Thank you for destroying another thread becuase of your arrogance from a company that actually works with Mercedes as its priority and helps out the community daily. Hopefully a moderator may be able to help and clean the thread so that I can continue to post awesome things, if a mod needs to contact me I am more than willing to help in any way.

And because of your ignorance, others who had questions about the supercharger went unanswered. I will once again start a new thread, if you decide to post in it, there will be no updates on any projects until they are completed. The time needed to babysit these comments takes away from our development time and further prolongs the delivery date of our kits.

Enough is enough.
This was directed at me and Steve, by the way.

I love being called ignorant!!! LOL

BTW, here is my post that prompted this:

How can you come on here, boasting "We have finally had enough time clear up at the shop to completely focus on the Whipple supercharger" when you haven't given us an UPDATE, let alone photos or dyno numbers of a header build promised to us several months ago?!? On May 4th you promised us all an update "next week". This is after months of NO news... just a "we're working on it" every now and then.

In a post before that you are defending your honor, and are seemingly "shocked" that we would deem you a crook... Yet, here we are with no headers, no progress reports, no refunds of our deposits as promised. But, you have plenty of time to come on here and advertise new goodies.

For the smart*ss that thinks "no one cares" , here are eleven pages of people getting promised a "new exciting product" by Speedriven... only to be where we are now.

If you don't think that's significant, you're one self-absorbed guy.

Then I come on here and see him saying everything is done? All projects cleared out? He has *****, I give him that. But absolutely none of my respect at this point.

Why so harsh?

Since the projects have all been "cleared" he's clearly stating there is no finished header. He's either lying to you guys, to lure you into thinking there will be a focused, quick turnaround (LMAO) or he's lying to the members of another Speedriven group buy, telling us there is a dedicated build going on when clearly that isn't so. Either way, he has lied to one of the parties and I'm sick of it. I don't (knowingly) do business with liars.

If they can't be trusted with the small things, how do you expect them to handle $6,000+ of your hard-earned cash, extensively modifying a motor worth tens-of-thousands without a warranty??? They can't even manage a header build as scheduled.

I will simply say this much: either Speedriven refunds my deposit ASAP, as well as the other deposits requested by disgruntled members, or my new hobby will become telling everyone what a fraud Speedriven is.

This is beyond an oversight. This is borderline theft. When you set the money right, I will set the record straight and correct this post.
I'm only quoting this because a tantrum was thrown and he's now beckoning the moderators to sweep up the mess.
