So much Hahn hate. So much ZZP hype. Has ZZP taken over this web site through surrogates? Is there some sort of orchestrated campaign behind the scenes to promote ZZP products and smack down competitors. Check out other forum discussions about other cars and you will find a lot of balanced discussion. Compliments and complaints about Hahn; compliments and complaints about ZZP (yes, believe it or not, ZZP is getting its share of bad press...elsewhere), etc. What is the policy here for full disclosure about a poster's possible affiliation or relationship with a particular vendor? What is ZZP's policy concerning the creation of such affiliations and relationships, if they do in fact exist? Just curious.

the BBB is worthless it's a private company, not government operated. i have seen enough hahn intake manifolds break that i don't want to run any more hahn parts. so far my intake manifold is holding up after my last one blowing up. let's see how long this one lasts

OP, you have to take into consideration the personality-type of a mechanic. Although still right-brained, they generally aren't the "artsy" type. Along with that, they lose some people skills.

It's been my experience that most (but not all) fall into this category.

Also, as a graphic designer, I can tell you the mark of a good product is not it's marketing. In fact, good marketing is simply me getting you to be interested in something you'd otherwise never consider looking at twice.

When I first got into the turbo ss scene, you asked anybody and Hahn was the ****, know people just think it is ****........

I'm just curious to why this could be.....

.......I'm also wondering that parts, from various after market companies, that fail are they being pushed beyond there capabilities??

That is an excellent question. Popped into my head when reading this as well. That might be the answer to why it's split so 50/50.

This may not apply to all, so no one get butt hurt, but it's easier to blame the product than to admit they should have spent money elsewhere first to create a more stout platform.

I'm no angel......if I had a part fail I'd probaly blame it rather than myself for overloading it Hahahaha !
I just find it funny and interesting when u get 5 people who love Hahn and then you hear someone who has Hahn everything and they hate it! Just curious too see if the people who hate Hahn are pushing the parts beyond there mean?

I talked to bill Hahn Jr two days ago and they have big plans for Hahn racecraft at it's new location! He was SUPER helpful and was more than willing to make a deal with me! I've talked to John Powell and he was the same way with me, truly helpful! So when u hear people bash there products I just scratch my head and wonder why????

All my car before I owned it was there sorta test car and they fucked it all up. There's plenty of threads on it. There innercooler first busted on me at 20lbs and there charge pipes all rusted with only 1 year and a half on it.... Then there charge pipe hit my do pump breaking the connector. The exaust rattles.. there silicone couplers collapse on them selves easy and more.

I'm just curious to know how u blow an upgraded intercooler.........and I truly mean this with all due respect( not being an ass).

Cause I'm thinking that the only way would be running huge Boost at PSI that could smoke the turbo as well????

Anyways lemme know

Hmmmm this sucks to hear about Hahn! It's just frustrating when u r in the situation that I am! I have the money to put in my car BUT I want to invest with the right company! You hear so many positives and negatives with the companies it's hard to tell which company to go with!

Is there no company out there that has flawless parts????

No such thing as flawless parts. Ut the two main groups I pick is treadstone and zzp. But I am mainly just treadstone for the purpose of zzps customer service and lack of respect for others.

when i talked to Bill Hahn Jr he could have been more helpful and he even explained to me when there exhaust had the best sound out of all the exhaust out there.

I think it is really cool that they moved to Florida to lower there operating cost and there for a turning that discount over to the customer.........plus now that they are in warm weather all year long they wil be able to race all season and develop more.

Im just not sure why Hahn isnt a supporting vendor on here???
