Do yourself a huge favor.... seek out "high quality" aftermarket parts for your new car. There are plenty of companies who can help you. Adding parts from dubious companies (like FTP) will only serve to cheapen the vehicle overall and add more problems than they resolve.
You're new here..... these forum archives are PACKED with information that will take you through the upgrade process step-by-step. These days, bolting on an additional 125HP is pretty damn easy if you stay on the proven upgrade path.

I did a little bit of research but it seems like the people that have some of their products at least the h/e are fairly happy with it. What I noticed is that a lot of the stuff they've got on their site is a lot cheaper than the other guys, them being EC, Renntech, etc.. That's the only reason why it seemed like it would be something worth looking into and getting some customer opinions. Although GregMB I agree that you get what you pay for so that's the part that makes me question their products.

I don't want to get into slandering, and I'm not going to take the time to dig up threads, but I believe they had an issue with delivering, communication and copying other vendor's products, which is why they aren't a vendor here anymore.

You guys are right about this stuff and I know they've got their performance kits and what not and if going that route I would definitely consider a company with a better proven name. I was mainly wondering about the H/E cause it's like 110-160 cheaper than EC for example and about the same size and dual pass too but I couldn't find much info about it besides a few positive videos/reviews. Maybe that by itself is enough to turn me away from them but I was just trying to give them the benefit of the doubt and see what others have to say.
Now that I think about it cheaper is probably not the way to go although how bad can you screw up a radiator (shrug).

I don't understand the whole copying thing. If you can make it better/cheaper, then more power to you. Even better if it's made in usa not copied and hacked by China.
Anyway. For op I have a heat exchanger I'll sell. I got it 6 months ago and never put it on and don't see it happening anytime soon. Pm me if you want

I was going to do some K&N filters (amazon.com) and some beast tubes from this guy wrapped in black heat tape. Seems like a hard thing to screw up? or is it lol
I'll going to get the rest of my stuff from Shardul.

The hear exhanger is from frozenboost.com and so are the "beast" tubes. I had the FB heat exchanger on my car and it's great with a front lip or E63 bumper to avoid the buldge. The tubes are just 45deg bends cut to the correct size with silicone couplers. Save yourself the hassle and just order direct.

I have no idea what you are trying to ask or say. You may want to re-post your question or point of view in English or some close resemblance of a sentence.
