ok, here's the deal
i got in touch with my man from adventon.com. he is going to see what he can do about the price, cause he said they'll match the 195 price but he's going to hold out to see what he can do to make the price even lower.
mp3wannabe, i need to know who gave you the 195 shipped price so i can tell adventon in order for them to match, and even possibly, beat the price.
and everyone else who is in on this deal, i need to know for sure it's a "yes" from all those who want this. last i checked, we had 8. i'm not sure if the numbers went down or not, as they often change, but the more of us there are, the more likely we will all get a good deal.
i am sure this is going to be the lowest offer from anyone since the price is getting ridiculously low. i don't want adventon or whoever else we are dealing with thinking we are trying to get them into a bid war because it reflects bad on all of us. hope to hear from you all soon.

^%$# 5????? @#$% &^%* %^)(
where did everyone go? all i know is, i am in. wherever is cool with me. just give me the deal. come on folks... injen is goooood. or so i have heard. sir nuke has one. sir nuke is the man. if you want to be a man, get in on this!!!!
we better hurry, too, cause valentine's day is coming up. if i have the extra $200 in my bank account, i'll use it to take my girl out. so it's either before 2/14 or i'm gonna drain my account for a nice night out and some gifts. ok, that's all. hear from you all soon! if this all falls through, adventon's price is still pretty killer.

hey mp3wannabe,
i was just browsing thru the threads and found some idiot who bashed mitch (from protege5online.com) for not sending him an exhaust within 1 week. he dragged mitch's good name through the mud and called him fradulent, going so far as to report mitch to his credit card company and paypal. then he came on the boards and bashed him! what a moron.
anyway, i was thinking, if mitch can match 195 shipped, let's get it through him since he is a member of this board and has always taken care of those on here (as can be seen in the mitch bash thread where tons of people came on and defended him.) and i figure, if we keep buying from mitch, he can soon be able to drop his prices to those of the competition, which would be more beneficial for us, since mitch actually owns a protege and can custom tailor each order to make sure we have the appropriate parts.
just a thought.

ok here is what mitch told me
if this works then i'll go ahead and do this.
the only problems i forsee with this is that there are only 4, and there are 5 people that said they want one, plus we pretty much have to get the splash guard.
Mitch from protege5online.com
Got the info today & heres the deal. I've got 1 Polished, 1 Blue & 2 Red intakes in stock. Ready to ship. Dont need 10 to buy, these are ready to go. I would prefer to sell them like this:
Polished with Splash Guard 240.00 shipped
Red or Blue with Splash Guard - 252.00 shipped.
I normally sell the Polished with Splash Guard for about 300.00 shipped. I can do those 4 now if people are ready to buy. Then, if we still have 10 people after those 4 are gone, I'll do 10+ for 195.00 each shipped (but I would need MO payment or add 5.00 for paypal payment) Let me know what you think. That price for those 4 intakes with Splash guard is a great price. I would prefer to sell them with the SG. If someone just does not want the SG at all, I do have the Bypass valve available or if worse comes to worse, I'll work it up without the SG or Bypass valve. I would just prefer to do the Splash guard with the intakes (otherwise, I end up having a stack of splash guards I cant do anything with!)

wow... that's rad. wait... i just reread everything. does that mean we have a choice between the SG and the bypass? cause if that's the case, then let's stick with mitch till we get ten. $195 with splash guard??? if you don't want the splash guard, there's this thing called ebay. whoa... that's cheap. right now we are up to six. "my black mp5" just jumped on board. are the potentials still with us, or are they long gone?

sorry to burst your bubble
but what he said is that the first 4 go for 240 or 252 with the splash guard, then next ten go for 195 without splash guards because (this part i assume) he can order them without it.
and my black mp5 was already in my count, he pm'd me separtely, check the post above

hi, i'm a moron. sorry about that. i got all excited! oh well. i guess i'm dumb AND blind! 
anyway... i'm really not interested in the splash guard. i kinda want the bypass valve cause we have mad flash floods in tucson in the summer. it'll be a seasonal thing. either that or i can just detach the cold air section of the intake and make it a short ram for the summer. i haven't decided yet. but yeah, 195 shipped from mitch would be ideal. we just need eight more. i guess now we have six with rahmin. let me check your list again to be sure though. score! six! woo hoo! is there any way we can just get the 10 for 195? or does he need to get rid of his 4 first? cause if that's the case, no one would want the four initial ones since it's gonna cost $45 more than what others are getting theirs for. hmmmmmmm....
