Well there was a thread from a satisfied customer of ours on here about the exhaust and intercooler piping he got from us. I feel its rather unfair that business like ours is suppressed like this. Lets keep it going

^^^ True guys but look at it from a supporting vendor stand point. It's not fair to them that they pay however much it is to be a vendor on here, and then someone to pays nothing comes in and steals business. Not completely fair in that aspect.

I'm not doggin this guy one bit though, just wanna let him know that's prolly the case.

Ive messaged the site admin several times as well as one of the head mod's mutliple times with no replies from the admin, and a few replies from the mod! I told him i wanted to support the site and become a vendor and help the site while it helps my business and no one is giving me instructions of what to do! I see what you mean by waiting 6 months. How they can say im not supporting the site when im trying over and over too? I did go premium in the meanwhile to show my support.

Yea, I hear you dude....uhmm......I think there's instructions somewhere on how to become a supporting vendor. Hang tight for a few minutes and I'll see if I can't come up with something.

yea even if you have a request in to go become a vendor they dont care. theres one or 2 that actually report the threads most dont care. i honestly dont see how your competing against most of them, at least the ones who report the threads.

That's really the only thing I could find for you. I'm guessing you click "add entry" and send them a message that way. Just read their instructions there and you should be set to go. I'm not sure how long it will take to be approved and I'm really not sure if that's to become a supporting Vendor but it's really all I could find.


Another thing you could do is get in contact with a couple supporting vendors we have and maybe they will help you out in becoming a supporting vendor. Hope this helps you out.

That really sucks! If he made the thread thats one thing, but it was a customer. If they dont take the time to get new vendors approved this stuff is going to happen. If I got banned I would never come back. I am sure this thread will get deleted aswell if you are a member you cant have stuff people want.

I have seen your product, and to be all honest, get setup before you keep going.

ANYONE can buy pre bent tubes and TIG weld them together. Look at your exhaust, I think there is 30 weld seams? LOL

Get a mandrel bender and make something that doesn't look like poo. Do it the right way. For what you are offering your prices are though the roof, and IMO not worth it.

Although Vulcan is a direct competitor (future) of mine I think it's BS that the thread got deleted--especially since it wasn't even started by him---I have ALSO tried to contract the admins to no avail.

Like I said in the thread that got deleted, if you go to : https://www.cobaltss.net/advertise.php

You are taken to a HTTP 404 NOT FOUND error.

Does anyone have an admin's email?

The exhaust system only looked like that because it was a prototype system, final system has far less welds. And i would LOVE to buy a cnc mandrel bender.... but until i find $50,000 to spend on one ill have to make with what i have.... a welder and skill.

I think its kinda nice to have options when it comes to buying things, if you dont like the look of 2-3 welds on a tubing (which in no way affects performance or airflow), then feel free to buy a different setup, but then at the same time you have to weight out your options, do you want aluminum or do you want mild steel? No one forces you to purchase my products, its only an option on the market... no harm done.
