Hi Guys,
I am here to address the refund policy. Paul said he will refund what I paid for the kits, but when I got a email back from him he said he will only issue me a "STORE" credit which is WORTHLESS to me since I haven't pushed their products since this whole issue started. I was more than willing to issue a refund minus the shipping & credit card fees, but a store credit would not help me. If Paul @ AFE decides to credit my bank account or credit card then I will be more than happy to issue the refund, but at this moment I won't be able to refund any kits as I would go under...I hope everyone understands my point of view on this. Please feel free to answer back on this thread or PM me or email me. Thank you.

Since Joe at Trinity Autosports has indicated that he will not be buying product from aFe any longer, we will honor his request to credit back to his bank account any refund due him if any readers desire to return an aFe product back to him. This should remove any obstacle from returning aFe product back to Trinity. If you purchased your product from Trinity, please contact Joe for an RGA. If you purchased product from one of our other dealers or distributors, please contact them regarding an RGA.

These are great stats to go off of, but I'm a bit confused by these numbers:
1. How does Rambird(#3), who is "bone stock", have more RWHP than JC58(#4)? 20 more, to be exact?
2. ALTANertive is getting 8 more RWHP than EM_5M5? Both have section 3's, but ALTANertive is running the Arqary exhaust. Is that exhaust offering up 8 additional ponies at the wheel??? Really?
