Angry Why does everyone hate the TD kit?

Why is it that in almost every post I see someone bashing TD? Other than some tuning issues Iv had great results. The car has been running at 9psi every day for over 3 months now, and has had no problems that were related to the kit. I know there manifold is kinda crappy, but other than that why hate on them soo much?

i dont think people hate that kit its just everyone loves SF kit, personally when the 2 kits first came out i planned on getting the TD kit but after seeing everyone praising SF, i switched over.

Oooh oooh... pick me pick me!!! I know!

SFPower, but mainly Catalyst have been on here everyday. Catalyst talks to members of the board as any other member of the forum, let alone representing Stafford Fabrication. It's not so much that you are hearing people say that TD sucks... You are hearing people say "SF ownz" (it's even in this thread). Now I have nothing against any company or what they produce. It's 2 TD owners vs. a bunch of SF owners. I'm not biased... I don't like anybody. Honestly, there are parts to each kit (SF, TD, Max-Rev) that I like. Each kit has it's strengths in the areas that the other had there weaknesses (hence the reason I went custom).

But there is another reason as well maybe. The good ol' 7thgen bandwagon. Everybody knows it exists. From pickle hats to tanabe exhausts to SF to DH. But don't get me wrong, it's not whether or not companies produce quality products or not. But the fact is that you can tell the difference between the people who research products and know what they are actually looking at, and people who just say "They're the best, nuff said" just because it's what everybody else is doing (another reason I went custom).

Etc etc etc... blah blah blah

Speak it boosted. Once someone down grades a product, everyone else says the same thing. Same with politics, but thats all Im going to say on that topic.
Ex. Everyone has something to say about dc sports header or exhaust. I acually own both. I like them and tell people to not say anything if they havent owned it.
